Dude! So I was just browsing the birds for sale section online for birds in the KC area ( not that I'm looking for another bird, but just 'cause I was bored and wanted something to do ) and I came across this African Grey that...at least by the photo...looks to be in perfect feather and is happily eating some fruits and veggies. According to the add she talks and is very tame....so, duh, I emailed the chick about her!!! I had to ask if she was giving the bird away to just rehome her, or what! I'll keep ya posted.
Oh, I also found a handraised HYACINTH macaw from someone else that was $500.00! I'm not looking for a hyacinth (ever!), but I just had to email this guy to see if he's actually legit....or insane! Seriously!!!

I am betting on one definite scam... one more than likely (in reverse order from mention in above post). Anyone giving odds?

Odds of the Hyacinth being a scam 200%. Free Grey I put at 90%.

nnnnnNNNNNNOOOOOOOOooooooooo! Not MBS! NOT MBS! ROFLOL! But if that grey is free......

Robyn, I'm totally with you on that Hyacinth being a fraud. $500.00? The guy either really needs the money for his next baggie of mary jane or he's just absolutely stupid! LOL! The grey is in the Kansas City area, so if she IS free, I will visit first!

Heck if that turns out to be a real ad for that Hyacinth, you'd better pounce on it! I totally would!

Nah, I don't want a Hyacinth, but there was someone on here not long ago that I saw looking for one....I might put them in touch if it happens to actually be real.

I wouldn't doubt the H Macaw is a scam....the grey is supposed to be in Kansas City, so unless I could actually go to the persons house and visit....If they reply back that the bird is somewhere else, then I'll know it's a load of crap.
