These are definetly scams. When I was adopting out my finches two years ago, I got many of the same replies. They want you to send $$ to get the health certificates and other items needed to ship, then the poor bird, if they are shipped, ends up at the airport without someone there to pick it up.

I specified that the person needed to come pick up the bird and pay cash. Someone who is really interested, will do this. The others I called them out on being scammers and they quickly left me alone. The poor grammar tips you off pretty quickly about the scams. They mass mail every adoption ad and hope to get some money from each person, they aren't really interested in the pet.
