Idaho resident Nichole Thiel has extensive experience in multiple aspects of the state's public and private education system, including student support, administration, and athletics. Outside of her work, Nichole Thiel maintains a strong interest in animal rescue and adoption, especially for parrots and other exotic birds.
Parrots are sensitive, sociable animals that require special care. Unfortunately, some untrained parrot owners may find themselves overwhelmed by the bird’s needs or financially unable to pay for the upkeep. Taking a parrot to a rescue center that specializes in parrot health and behavior is important. There, the bird can receive the attention and care it needs before it is adopted.
Most parrot rescues have a mandatory pre-adoption program to ensure that new parrot owners are equipped to care for the bird and pay for its expenses. Since many parrots do not adapt well to overly-active or noisy surroundings, the home environment is also inspected for suitability. If the person and the parrot are found to be a match, the new owner may sign an adoption agreement and promise to provide the bird with excellent care.
