| Folks, if any of you go onto other listing site's that let you list for free, you will find alot of fraudulent advertising, like baby Hyacinth's for $2000.00and Baby Black Palms for 900.00, its a fraud. and if you are asked to call 00237 or +237, its Cameroon, I have had 6 individuals arrested so far, as they are using parts of my aviary name, and even changed the spelling of my last name, and claim they are a Doctor. Any adds like that, reporto them to the inernationpolice, & IRS. as they are actively trying to shut these thiefs down. Because I have stood up and taken action, they attack me back by pretending to be me. All of my birds, and myself are here in Phoenix

| Thank you for keeping the public aware! I have had run-ins with these people also when looking into Hyacinths. Aves International has a very informative peice on them (there you'll see the theifs will also try to sell you a talking monkey...). When I was dealing with them, one was going under the name Vicki from Cameroon. As a hint, she said 'ok' constantly at at the end of sentences.

Wow! Am I ever glad I stumbled upon this thread! I live in Japan, and I'm having a horrible time trying to find an Eclectus without supporting one of Japan's hellish pet stores. In my desperation, I've been in contact with several people who've listed free online classified ads for parrots and parrot eggs. If anyone can look at these e-mails and let me know if they're bogus (I'm highly suspicious), then I'd really appreciate it.
Here's an e-mail from "Bob Dilan", apparently living in Cameroon:

regards
Bob

And here's another one from "Terry Max" who oddly likes to end her sentences with random OKs:
[font=Courier New]

Thanks!
Jon
PS: Is it even feasible/possible to ship an egg in an incubator? Is buying any egg off the internet a dumb idea? Sorry if this question is stupid, but I've never hatched birds before and I have no idea.

BTW... try "Parrots of the World". I don't know the exact URL... I do believe that they have the proper licensing to ship out of the US, Im not sure though. Good luck!
