Nice Macaw! Seems legit. Rabies vaccinated?

I'm looking forward to the reply, lol.

I wonder if you mention that someone can pick the bird up, if this person will suddenly have to move somewhere else, due to a family emergency or some excuse, taking the bird with him.

If he tells me he lives too far away and has to ship , I was laughing at the thought of saying:

"oh my brother lives just down the street. He doesnt have a car, but he could pick her up on his BICYCLE with $$ in hand" just for entertainment purposes.

Way to go Babs sounds like a classic ....... ........

Okay I offered $$ and I got back this reply. They aren't asking for any money from me. Now I am baffled. What if this is legitimate I may be the owner of a big ole birdie. Animal transportation company?? (They mentioned me not answered an email but I answered all three they sent)

After reading through your mail, you moved to the number one sport in my heart for potential adopters of my bird Princess.she is !year ,8 months old .You sound so so passionate about these babies , I think Princess will be the best for you as she is very playful and loves jumping around ,below are more pictures of her .when I did not get a reply from you I though you had no interest in her again.You pictures and birds ate so cute .Hope she will make a great new companion .

My Wife and I have decided to give out this baby to any one who is ready to take good care of her and we are happy you are willing to do so for her. All we need from you is your love for the baby. I really wanted to meet with you so you can pick up yourself but since you are not in our area and it's a distances ride on car i don't know if you will make up the ride to come pick up today or tomorrow.

We just relocated some few days ago to Ohio. Better still if you cant make it up, she can be registered to a near by pets transportation company,let me know what you decide please .

Thanks and waiting

They may ask for the money to relocate her, otherwise you will be the proud owner of a rabies free blue and gold macaw

Okay its a scam, or I am the proud owner of a blue and gold PUPPY!! YAY!! Here is their response to my last email about picking the macaw up. (Let this be a warning to all of my birdie friends....note he wants me to pay $310 HIS delivery service and it will be delivered to my door!) This allows them to get the $$ and try and get even MORE personal information about me during the so-called "registration".

My dear, Its 9 hours ,36 minutes from here but that is not an issue ,
I cant let you you drive that long . I can arrange for her to be shipped
over to you , all you will need to do is pay for the shipping fee. it will
take at most 3 hours for her to get to you by shipping company .
you will be paying the shipping fee directly to them .I hope that she will
be going to a great home because my main priority is to get her the
best place where she will find peace, love and attention, i will send
the baby along side a hand booklet to enable you know the best
food for her. It will cost you $310 for the delivery fee. Included with
all needed facilities. I would like you to give me your delivery details
in this order that will be needed to get her home...

Your full name................
Full home address.............
State/City....................
Postal/zip code................
Contact numbers................
Nearest airport to your location.......

Once I have the details, I will go ahead with the registration of the
parrot so it can be ship over to your home asap.also I know a very
reliable pet shipping company that does door to door delivery.

I will start necessary arrangements and get everything together
including her toys, crate and other accessories with paper works, I
will register and get her on board with the next available going trip
to your location you will have all the delivery details and tracking
number status schedule sent to you in which you will use in tracking
the puppy till he arrive your location. Once that is done, the
delivery will be carried out, i will be looking forward with the
details for registration.she comes along with all of these below .

Stay bless

They seem to have so many ads running that they can't even recall which was about a parrot and which was about a dog.
Of course, payment was due in advance?
Have you tried asking for a phone number?

Being a woman, I got a little weird about the phone exchange (I thought about it for a few days). Was trying to find a way to call them from another number, but work got in the way of that research. ;)

@"Stuart whiting" Im picturing a guy with an accent asking for "Bubba" at the station. *giggle*

PS Why wont my tags work?! ugh

[Stuart whiting]

Yea Babs I can just picture that aswell, would be an absolute screemer

Don't know why yer tag icon is not working, I've just checked all of me settings thinking it might be at my end but all of me settings are fine

[w.l.]

Babs

I don't think there was much risk of them actually giving you a US number, but it could have been fun to hear why they say they can't.

[Babs _Owner]

w.l.

Yeah it would have been fun to hear his response, however utilities these new phones have I wouldnt trust guy with my number.

I also had a feeling if I asked for a phone number he would just stop responding. ;)

Oh Babsi, this just keepw getting better and better.
