Welcome to Parrot Adoption at Ruffled Feathers Parrot Sanctuary

Welcome to our Parrot Adoption Application at Ruffled Feathers Parrot Sanctuary.
Adopting a parrot isn’t just bringing home a bird – it’s welcoming a lifelong companion with opinions, emotions, and very strong snack preferences. At Ruffled Feathers Parrot Sanctuary, every adoption starts with care, education, and the goal of creating permanent, successful homes for rescued parrots.
Our adoption application helps us match each bird with the right environment, experience level, and lifestyle. Whether you’re applying to adopt a cockatoo, macaw, conure, African grey, or another species, this process allows us to prioritize the bird’s long-term wellbeing while supporting adopters every step of the way.
We believe adoption should feel exciting, honest, and supported – not rushed. Thank you for choosing rescue, patience, and compassion.

Parrot Adoption Application FAQ

How long does the adoption process take?

Every adoption timeline is different. Once your application is submitted, our team reviews it carefully and follows up if additional information is needed. Matching the right bird to the right home takes time, and we never rush that process.

Do you adopt outside of Kentucky?

We try to stay within an hour of Louisville so in some cases, yes. Distance adoptions are evaluated individually based on transportation safety, home setup, and adopter experience.

Do you allow first-time parrot owners to adopt?

Yes – depending on the species and individual bird. Some parrots are better suited for experienced homes, while others can thrive with first-time adopters who are committed to learning and preparation.

Is there an adoption fee?

Yes. Adoption fees help cover veterinary care, rehabilitation, food, and ongoing sanctuary operations. They also help ensure someone is serious and committed to that birds future. Fees vary depending on species and individual needs.

What species are available for adoption?

Our available parrots change regularly and may include cockatoos, macaws, conures, African greys, Amazons, and more. Check our adoption listings online for current availability.
