AFRICAN GREY PARROT

Fake bird breeder site



Hello Leonard, thanks for your interest in our parrots. The price for the African grey parrot is $750. This price does not include the fees for shipping and delivery. We provide shipping to Hong Kong for an additional $210; giving a total of $960 for the African grey parrot with shipping and delivery fees inclusive. The parrot will be transported to Hong Kong and delivered to you at your house or at your desired delivery address. The parrot will be transported with all its documents; CITES certificate, health certificate (with health guarantee), certificate of DNA testing, certificate of veterinary inspection, etc.
We will send you a weaned baby parrot which does not need hand feeding anymore. We will also send DVDs which will guide you in taking care of the parrots and the DVDs will also guide you in training the parrots in the best way possible.
We have shipped birds for a good number of years and we know how to do it properly. We know the best crates to use for various species and how to provide food and moisture in transit. Properly ventilated crates will be used for the shipping of the parrot. There are perches built in on the crate's floor. The crates are clearly marked with colorful "LIVE BIRD" and "UP" stickers. We provide enough food to last for several days as a contingency in case of flight delays.
We make all of the shipping arrangements and use direct flights if possible. We use the best pet carrier service, taking into consideration transit time, weather, and cost factor. We check weather conditions at the receiving end and only ship when we consider it safe to do so.
We put our birds' health above all other considerations and do not ship when we feel it could be dangerous to the birds' well-being. As a result, we only ship well-weaned babies.
Your parrot will be transported in a long crate (38" x 14" x 14") which is quite suitable for large parrot species.
The parrot will come with a complete written health guarantee. Here is a summary of our health guarantee:
All of our birds have a complete written health guarantee! We guarantee that there are no symptoms of disease or parasites at the time of sale/shipping and that our birds are completely healthy. This means that our birds are free of viral infections, pathogenic bacterial infections, fungal infections, and congenital defects. We do not put an artificial time limit on our guarantee. If one of our birds becomes ill or expires after the sale and the illness or congenital defect was present in our bird prior to its being sold, we will replace the bird or refund the money paid for the bird. THERE IS NO BETTER GUARANTEE! We do bacterial cultures in our nursery on every chick and culture our babies prior to shipment. We do not consider a slight growth of gram negative bacteria post-shipping to be disease but recognize that this is (if it occurs) a stress-related reaction to being shipped. Please ask us for details regarding our guarantee if there is something you do not understand.
We do NOT take our babies to public exhibitions nor to "bird marts", therefore our babies are NOT exposed to birds from other facilities.
We are serious about our babies' health and do everything possible to provide proper nutrition and veterinary supervision to ensure that you will receive the healthiest bird possible from us!
Get back to us as soon as possible, confirming your order and we will proceed from there.

This scammer also claims to be able to ship parrot eggs to the US. It is illegal to import parrot eggs to the US even if it was physically possible to keep the eggs alive in transit.

Hello , thanks for your interest in our eggs. The price for one egg is $100. This price includes the fees for transportation and delivery. The eggs will be transported to the United States and delivered to you at your house or at your desired delivery address. The eggs will be transported with all their documents; certificate of fertility (with 100% fertility guarantee), certificate of DNA testing, etc.
The minimum number of eggs which we can supply in one shipment is four (4) eggs. So you can order from 4 eggs and above. All the eggs will be transported in an incubator. The incubator will protect them from shaking, from vibrating, from cooling and from any damages during transportation.
Please tell us the number of eggs which you need. Give us your exact and complete order and we will give you more detailed information. Respond as soon as possible and we will continue from there.
Get back to us as soon as possible, confirming your exact order and we will proceed from there.

Hello , we have received the filled order form and we have included your order in our database. Now, for us to validate your order and proceed with the shipping arrangements, you need to make the required payment ($800) for your eggs. The payment methods which we generally accept are bank transfer and Western union transfer. But in most cases, we prefer Western Union transfer because they are faster (same day transaction), unlike international bank transfer which will take 4-5 business days for the transaction to go through completely. Make the payment to our accountant through Western Union. Make the payment to the following details:
Beneficiary’s First Name............................................Frankly
Beneficiary’s Last Name............................................Nuza
Beneficiary’s (Destination) Country..........................Cameroon
Postal code...................................................................00237
City.................................................................................Douala
Address.........................................................................611 Boulevard de la liberté.
You will need to include a test question and an answer. Use the following:
Test question: What color?
Answer: Grey
TIP: It might be better not to inform the workers at Western Union that you are sending the money for a purchase. If you tell them that the money is payment for your eggs, the transaction charges will be higher. So if they ask, you might want to tell them that you are sending the money to a friend who is away on vacation, or to a family member, or that it is a gift to a friend, or some other reason. Just for your advantage.
When you make the payment, give us a scanned or snapped copy of the receipt immediately. As such, we will collect the money, process your order and proceed with the shipping arrangements for your eggs without any avoidable delays.
