Cameroon exotic animals in bad conditions

[purplecleo]

I just found this website: African gray parrots, Buy from Ornithological West Farm Ltd. Cameroon - Sud - TradeBoss.com - B2B Marketplace, Import Export, Business Portal, FREE Business Website

I really don't know what the legal spectrum is like in regard to keeping animals in these conditions outside of the US but I thought someone here might. This seems like it cannot possibly be on the up-and-up, the photo of the greys and galah's might be a cute posey picture or it might not be. Anyone heard anything about this company?

Looks like a scam to me.

If it says Cameroon or Nigeria in it, I run the other way.

If you don't believe it then keep in mind that bird imports from Cameroon are currently banned.

"...my services are world renown and second to non and world renow."

Sounds like a really smart person to me... wow hundreds of animals... they must all be really well cared for and socialized.

Don't mind the bitter sarcasm...

I wasn't considering purchasing any of their birds, I was concerned with the quality of care they were receiving. I guess it's possible that this is not a real establishment and does not have any animals on their premises, but if it does their conditions must be poor and this facility should not continue to exist.

Trust me. There are no animals at all. Its simply a scam to get people to send money. They use pictures from other places and times - they even steal those! Its one guy with a cell phone and an address and a dishonest heart is all it is.

Hey!!!! I remember seeing that photo of galahs and baby greys! Although I can't recall where, I can guarantee you it wasn't from Cameroon!

If I could recall where I originally saw the pic I'd show you! And as for the quality and care for birds that don't exist... well, I think it'd be the same as the birds!
