He's giving his bird away free to anyone who buys his car. What a dope!

breaks my heart - he looks so cute.....
(i have my doubts about the 200 words though)

sometimes i wonder why it's a crime to hurt people - just a few whips could get some sense into this guy *anger*

[Doyle'sMommy]

Yeah I doubt the 200 word thing too. I just don't know how you could trade your animals like their nothing and probably to someone who knows nothing about birds and might not take care of him. I told Evan I think we should call him, lol. Tiffany

I don't get that either - every day when I look at Valo, my heart warms up (to a lesser extent if he nips ). I wouldn't be able to let this little guy go whatever situation I'd be in... and for somebody to just treat their bird like an accessory cup-holder is something I don't comprehend. And on top you might send it to a horrible place... humans!
In addition, do you think it makes it easier to sell the car? I'd doubt that because not that many people really want a parrot... except if he runs into a bird lover.
Would be great of you to contact him - sure Doyle would love him and you'd have a large flock in no time... (and maybe a slightly grumpy Evan)
I have to say I thought about that too, but we're good for now...

[Doyle'sMommy]

Oh no more birds for awhile, Evan would go nuts, lol. Once we buy our own house than we will definitley have a bird room to fill with a couple more! I just want to call and ask him how could he! And you're right, it would make it more difficult to sell the car.

I didn't call him, but I just e-mailed him (I'm in Dallas, and the ad stated this guy is in Carrollton, which is a suburb) and asked him why he was giving the bird away. I'll post his reply, if and when he provides one...

what the hell is that??? The bird is a bonus for buying the jeep?!! What a load a crap.

[Valo's Moirana]

I'm surprised they let the ad on the site in the first place.... almost seems out-of-line to me
ray... please keep us posted
