Nature is amazing!" The birds had ripped up decking, taken to a bath spa and knocked over several plants.<ref name=PC_NYT/>

The [[Fish and Wildlife Service]] responded to [[Twitter|tweets]] about the incident that the house is in a condor habitat where there are food sources and that sometimes condors use houses and decks as perch locations.<ref name=PC_NYT/> Spokeswoman Pam Bierce said that as condors re-colonized historical ranges "people could increasingly find themselves interacting with the curious, intelligent and social birds".<ref name=PA_LAT>{{cite news| title=Party animals: California condors show up uninvited at woman's home, trash the deck| agency=[[Associated Press]]| url=https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-05-07/flock-giant-california-condors-trashes-home| work=[[Los Angeles Times]] | date=May 7, 2021| access-date=September 21, 2021}}</ref>

Mickols' daughter Seana Quintero stated that all-in-all her mother was in "good stride and appreciating this once-in-a-lifetime annoyance but hoping they decide to leave her house alone soon".<ref name=PC_NYT/>
