Hy on PDX Craigslist

I don't know if anyone in the area is looking for one, but someone in Vancouver, WA, is advertising a 10 y/o female Hyacinth Macaw, with cage, perch and supplies, for $7,500. Apparently prefers men, which counts me out! LOL!

Posting is here: http://portland.craigslist.org/pet/173578103.html

If you can't find it, the flaggers probably got to it before you did....

Gary, on CraigsList flaggers literally check a box to flag a post that is not following the rules of CraigsList. You are not supposed to sell animals on CraigsList and that might be why it was removed. However, if they had listed a Hy for Adoption and had the $7500 as an adoption fee, that's ok.

Who the heck has Hy's around here?

Gary has two :-). Besides him, I don't know anyone else who has one. I do know that there is supposedly a fairly local breeder around here, but apparently they're very secretive kinds of folks, those Hyacinth breeders.... I have no idea who or where they are.

Edit: The posting is still there, so it hasn't been flagged off, yet. Maybe some people realize that Hys are very valuable animals.

I should be thankful, I guess, that the bird prefers men, or we'd be going into debt for the bird AND a bird room! LOL!

So, will Jackie and Seymour be having a "little" blue sister sometime soon? *grins*

Gotta love CL--I could go bankrupt if I bought everything that interests me on that site!

Be careful, tons of ads for expensive, rare birds end up being nothing but scams. So everyone, please be careful with stuff like that.
