New "Parrot Training Reviews" scam

[carlylu]

This one claims to be an unbiased review of parrot training courses. Look a little closer.

Training “Review” Scam


Do not believe anyone selling parrot training material unless you have thoroughly looked into their professional credentials. You can ask anyone at the International Associaon of Avian Trainers and Educators ( IAATE - The International Association of Avian Trainers and Educators ) for information on anyone who advertises bird training products, or post blogs or videos.

I appreciate the effort you make in posting things like this. Not so much because I'm going to fall for it but for the bird owners with good intentions who might. We should look out for both them and their birds. As consumers we tend to believe in the printed word if it's well written and organized. It's looks legit so it must be. Who would lie in print....right? It must be illegal.....if only. I'd be ashamed to show my face if I was doing this. I mean, to have to write your own endorsement.

Quote from your site carly (I love this)...

"What do you think they spend more time with — learning about marketing or training birds?"

hehe nice joke yes- Learning about marketing, apparently. Yeah I never fell for them... "we'll reveal this amazing secret... you'll be surprised at how obvious it is... for only $X.XX"
I'll go for simply buying books from stores, I think.
