About this Bird
Hatch Date: Approx 1992Shadow is a 31yo DNA confirmed male, special needs Congo African Grey. He was with one female caregiver his entire life and has strong preferences for females, especially those that are blonde. He has met other females with different color hair and shows zero interest in them. As of late has been showing hormonal behaviors to his foster mom, who happens to be blonde. He has a type!Shadow has extreme lameless in his right foot, causing it to clench. This could be due to an old injury or developing arthritis. To help maintain comfort and some mobility, Shadow gets anti inflamatories twice daily. His enclosure has plenty of wide perches to make it easy for him to get around. He does like being at the bottom of his enclosure as well - he sleeps there overnight. Shadow has a great diet of Zupreem and Harrisons pellets and loves fruits and vegetables. Corn, green apples and grapes are his current favorite.Shadow has an insatiable appetite for playing with toys - especially ones with bells or rope. He typically goes through at least one new toy a day. Even with his handicap, Shadow does frequently climb off his cage to walk around on the floor. He can be destructive to molding, furniture, etc. As such he will need constant supervision so he does not get into trouble, or go into a cavity (under a dresser, in a closest, etc) which promotes hormonal behaviors. He will sometimes attempt to fly however with his handicap and missing several primary feathers, the floor catches him quickly. Due to his special needs and preferences, Shadow will only be adopted to a female primary caregiver who does not have dogs or cats. His forever home must have bird experience with solid vet history as Shadow will need continued health care. Shadow is being fostered in Parsippany, NJ, and it will be necessary to drive to do the required visit. At least 3 visits will be required to adopt Shadow. We will NOT ship our birds. For the Love of Birds is a network of dedicated foster homes throughout NJ and Eastern PA, we have no central location. As our adoptable birds are living in volunteers’ homes, or in their family's home, we only allow approved applicants to meet our birds.

Adopt Shadow and Receive Dogecoin
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Shadow's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised. Dogecoin is digital currency that can be exchanged for cash, traded, or held as an investment (see the "What is Dogecoin" section below).
0.0 DOGE is Shadow's current Dogecoin balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. If you adopted the Shadow, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Shadow's Dogecoin here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the Dogecoin by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Shadow was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Shadow’s Dogecoin balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
"The fun and friendly internet currency."
Dogecoin sets itself apart from other digital currencies with an amazing, vibrant community made up of friendly folks just like you. Dogecoin is a decentralized, peer-to-peer digital currency that enables you to easily send money online.
Learn more about it on youtube or at dogecoin.com.
We want the Shadow’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Shadow’s balance will remain in our general Dogecoin fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
