Why would you not state species?

Our Parrot(family member)of 20 years escaped Saturday (long story)from his North Arlington home. He's about 40 and needs meds. We miss him dearly. There's a $500 dollar reward for his return. Please keep an eye up top the sky, and if you notice someone with a "new pet toy" (as they are often treated)or suddenly shows up with a parrot, please call. Thank you.

This makes no sense to me- why not state what Macaw this is- they dont even know!

hyacinth macaws

We breed hyacinths here at www.ALLmacaws.com. No doubt about it this is a scam. What a shame these scammers out there are taking money from people who just want a bird of their dreams. Just be careful and if anyone says anything about money orders and sending a rep to pick up the bird and you give him the difference in money...one of the sure signs of a scam artist. If these people would put the time into a real job instead of wasting time and energy into stealing, I am sure they would have a wonderful job and tons of money.

Check out my web site and go to the hatch to weaning page and you will see a hy hatching and actually growing up. It was a difficult job to get the hatching photo's. You take the egg from the incubator, focus and put him back. You are taking a risk doing this because the baby in shell can not tolerate temperature changes very well. So it goes like this...egg out, on towel, focus, check baby, check on baby with the buddy {lets you see the heart rate and gives you an ekg on the baby still in shell}, put baby back in the incubator, repeat in 1/2 hour. In the meantime, pray, you sweat, pray.your heart races, pray, YOU need an EKG, did I mention pray? Then your web designer says can you repeat these photo's with the next hatch? I dont like the way some of the young pictures pixeled out? I hung up on her. Just doing these pictures I cant tell you how stressful it was for me. Now just think of all that I have just written and would I take $1,000 for the baby? Not by the hair on my chinny chin chin. You would have to pry my baby out of my cold dead hands.

They (the cameroon scammers) have ads posted everywhere, hoobly.com, craigslist.org, toolady.com, just to name a few. They have ads for english bulldogs and yorkies , they describe them as LOVELY, they all say lovely, as well as the most expensive parrots. They're easier to spot if you pay attention to the words and phrases they use like: lovely, for a christian family, my dear, they come with all of their "documents". Sometimes you can sopt the same picture being used in different ads! You can always inquire, but as soon as they say "My dear, I'm traveling abroad now" forget about it! If they are so poor that they have to scam people then how can they afford computers with internet access?

You know, I don't know if you guys noticed, or if that was what you were getting at, but that website with the aviary that sells Hyacinths...what is up with that??? The lady handfed the macaw for 2 years?? The "letters" to her were all in broken english.....it was hilarious! I can't believe BirdsnWays let them have an aviary ad like that! They won't even post mine, though I know recently work on the site has pretty much stopped.

I came across a good one the other day it was for a scarlett hand fed and had its parvo distemper and rabies shots.......they need to learn how to seperate their puppy scams from the bird scams........Since they specialize in rare birds I wrote them asking if they had any Smythstone Cocker Macaws and guess what they do......LMAO!!!!! Wrote back asking for a picture wonder what they will send a Cocker Spaniel or a Macaw
