About this Bird
Update 11/07/23: We're so sad to report that Uma's mate, Speckle, has passed. Update 8/2/22: Let's talk about adorable, adoptable pair Uma (left) and Speckle (right). These two are very much in love and make it clear with lots of sweet gestures to each other. Uma spends much of his time laying as flat as possible, humming for Speckle, who is happy to give him sweet nibbles and to stand or sit on top of him to give him snuggles. These two are fantastic flyers, and Speckle is a particularly talented hover-er. They would make a wonderful addition to a safe, predator-proof aviary where they can stretch their wings. Uma uses his flying skills to build SUPERB nests efficiently, using as much building material as possible. We can't provide new nesting material fast enough! Speck has an adorable tiny little face and dainty little eyes and beak. Her voice is also cute and tiny. Uma is very handsome in every way and has lovely, thick, smoky plumage and gentle eyes. Apply to adopt this loving pair!Update 5/01/21: Because of family changes -- and no fault of his own! -- Uma has come back to Palomacy foster care. He has married a cute hen named Speckle.Update 9/12/20: Uma is adopted and HOME!Update 8/30/20: Brave Uma recovered beautifully from HIS injury and has found a loving foster to adopt placement!Hatched in 2020, Uma is a young survivor of pigeon racing. Uma is beyond beautiful and emanates grace and strength in the face of a devastating injury from a predator attack, in which a large patch of skin on her breast was ripped away, leaving the muscle exposed. Thanks to the amazing staff at Medical Center for Birds, she has been treated with a technique that involves separating the skin from muscle and stretching it to close. It sounds awful -- and it IS awful that pigeon hobbyists put Uma in this position -- but she is doing GREAT and we have good reason to hope that she will make a full recovery.Please apply to adopt http://www.pigeonrescue.org/birds/apply-to-foster-or-adopt/

Adopt Uma 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, Uma'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 Uma's current Dogecoin balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. If you adopted the Uma, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Uma'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 Uma was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Uma’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 Uma’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, Uma’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!
