Nigel

Unknown

Hello, I am Nigel. I came in as a found animal at our shelter and it seems no one misses me. I am now looking for a new home. I find it totally hilarious to make silly faces with the caretakers here. Sometimes we nod our heads together, that makes us laugh. Sometimes I also talk to the caretakers here. Of course, they don't understand me, but if they whistle, I like to whistle back. I can also perch on a human's hand, but I only do that if I want to. Here, I unfortunately don't have any cockatiel fellow animals, so I am looking for a new home as soon as possible with fellow animals and a large aviary where we can fly beautifully. So if you're looking for a cool Nymphi like me, just get in touch with the animal shelter.

Hallo, ich bin Nigel. Ich kam als Fundtier ins Tierheim und mich hat anscheint keiner vermisst. Ich suche nun ein neues Zuhause. Ich finde es total lustig mit den Pflegern hier Quatsch zu machen. Manchmal wippen wir gemeinsam mit unseren Köpfen, dass macht Spaß. Manchmal rede ich auch mit den Pflegern hier. Natürlich verstehen die mich nicht, aber wenn sie pfeifen, dann pfeife ich gerne mal mit. Ich kann mich auch auf die Hand des Menschen setzen, aber das mache ich nur wenn ich möchte. Hier habe ich aber leider keine Nymphensittich Artgenossen, deswegen suche ich so schnell wie möglich ein neues Zuhause mit Artgenossen und einer großen Voliere, wo man schön fliegen kann. Also wenn ihr noch so einen coolen Nymphi wie mich sucht, dann meldet euch doch im Tierheim. Euer Nigel

About Nigel

What life with Nigel looks like

Nigel is a large adult bird waiting at Tierheim u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. in Remagen.

Birds are long-lived, social, and noisy. The species and individual history matter enormously — ex-companion parrots can carry strong attachments and trauma. Ask the shelter about their daily routine, diet, and whether they'd do best alone or with a flockmate.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Nigel, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Nigel?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Nigel on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Nigel if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Nigel already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most birds on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Nigel isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Tierheim u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nigel and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
