Amazon on Craigs List

Lookit this! Isn't that a gorgeous lilac-crowned?

craigslist online community

Crap! Link didn't work. Here's the pic. Lister said he found the bird in the park, posted fliers, and couldn't find the owner. Wants $45.00 for bird and cage.

Sorry--it's in Manhattan, in NYC. Only 2 hours away from me. Of course, I just brough home a rehomed blue front two days ago. Do you think it's for real?

Hmmm....just looked at the photo again. Don't those look like palm leaves in the background? Palm leaves--in Manhattan?

Maybe he was taken on holiday to a state with palms or they lived in a different state previous?

But the seller "says" he found the bird in a park in NYC, and has only had him for 2 months. I supposed it could be one of those yucca-looking perrenials that grow in New England.

Ah, I can't open the advert.

Is he asking for money? He mention having tried to find the owner?

Yep, said he posted fliers but didn't find an owner. Says he wants $45.00 for the bird and its cage.
