Feathers Galore

Kentucky based 501c3 non-profit parrot and exotic bird rescue


The information on this page is for those that have a confirmed appointment date/time with Feathers Galore.

Please note:
Visits Are By Appointment Only
  
At this time, we are limiting visits to only approved adopters.  We will contact you to schedule an appointment if approved.


Information for Your SCHEDULED Appointment:

  • Please be aware that we are on EASTERN time.  If you are coming from a different time zone, you are responsible for accounting for the time difference in your travel time.
  • Your meet & greet and adoption visits will most likely be conducted in my home/living room.  This allows a more quiet and calm environment to interact with and get to know the bird.  
  • My home does have cats.  If you are allergic, please make us aware before the appointment so we can do our best to accommodate this.
  • My home and the bird facility are not wheelchair accessible.  Both the house and bird facility will require steps to access.  If handicap assistance is needed, please let us know in advance so we can try to accommodate your needs.   
  • We ask that you do not arrive more than 15 minutes before your scheduled time without confirmation from the rescue that this ok.  This will help prevent potential schedule conflicts.
  • Appointments are scheduled in 45 minute time blocks. If you arrive late, that will reduce your time spent with the bird.  You may be asked to do an additional visit if we do not feel that enough time was accomplished during your visit.  We highly recommend arriving on time to avoid this.
  • If you are more than 15 minutes late, your appointment will be cancelled and you will be asked to reschedule.  
  • Early/late arrivals may interfere with other appointments/plans that we have scheduled.  If you are unable to attend at your scheduled time and need to change your appointment time, please communicate that with us ASAP.   
  • A NO CALL/NO SHOW to your appointment will result in your current and future applications being denied. Please be respectful of the time that we have scheduled to be available to you for your appointment.  We simply ask that you send a text, Facebook message, or email prior to your scheduled appointment letting us know if you are unable to make it to your scheduled appointment.  No reason or excuse is needed or required.  We are understanding that life can change and things may get in the way of your original appointment date/time.  We are happy to reschedule with prior notice that you will not be able to complete the scheduled appointment.  
    What to Bring: 
  • If this is your initial visit, the primary caretaker will need to attend the appointment.  We suggest bringing anyone in the home that will have direct contact with the bird to see how each individual reacts to the bird.
  • If this is your final/adoption visit, please bring your adoption fee (cash or Paypal), carrier, and government issued photo ID.   
  • We do NOT accept checks unless they have cleared the bank prior to your adoption appointment.
    Find Our Location: 
  • Our address is 8655 S Preston Hwy, Lebanon Junction, KY 40150.  
  • This is a personal residence.  Visitations are by APPOINTMENT ONLY. 
  • Please use the BACK DOOR when you arrive.  Please do not open any gates unless otherwise instructed to do so.  If a gate must be opened, please be sure they are immediately closed behind you.  We have animals in the yard that will get loose if the gate is left open.
  • GPS: Be sure to enter the FULL ADDRESS (including zip code).  If you do not enter the city and/or zip code, GPS will likely send you to a different location that is about 30 minutes away.  This has happened to multiple individuals, so I highly recommend either entering the full address or using Google to search for the rescue.  It has the address stored correctly for Google Maps.  
  • Some GPS devices can be a little finicky when it comes to our exact location.  We recommend slowing down and watching the address numbers when you get close.  
  • We have our address posted on our mailbox (across the street from our driveway) and on a wood post at the end of the driveway.  We also have a "Feathers Galore" sign that can be seen when you pull into the driveway.
  • The driveway is gravel and goes up the hill to a lightly colored (grey) brick house.
