This came from Freecycle group covering Weymouth and Portland in Dorset, England, I instantly spotted it as a Scam so played it along hoping to get some more info.

We are both in our early 50s, no children and not interested in breeding, I used to be a Zookeeper so well versed with looking after animals of all varieties, if I am lucky enough to get Bella would there be a cage available or will I need to get one?
We have cats, dogs and loads of tropical fish at present and one more beak to feed would not be a problem.

Thoams Birkoff [tbirkoff@yahoo.com] Hello, Thanks for the mail The Parrot is still available .She is home train, hand fed and well tame.. She loves to be pampered with her and above all keeps to instructions especially in English. She is DNA tested and will be coming with all vet documents and with cage food toys and food. She is very friendly and loving.She loves the company of kids and other pets at home.... She has been hand raised since she was 14 days old and is played with every day, so she is very well socialized for human interaction! She will make an excellent companion.She is been fed only with high quality foods.This lovely parrot has been weaned onto Zupreem Avian Maintenance Pellets, Nutriberries, Avicakes, fruits, veggies, homemade parrot foods, and more! She is called Bella and she is 3 years old.her vocabulary consists of hello, I love you, look at me, Thank you, goodbye, ok, ouch and loves dancing when you sing to her. She loves giving kisses and getting kisses back. She is constantly surrounded by my children 3/5/6 and a dog, cat and a pup. She comes with all her toys. She is not a plucker ,We want her to go to a good home.I love Bella and I am trying to place her in the best home possible. Hope you wont mind if i ask you a few questions: Do you have kids? Do you have any experience with Birds? Are you a breeder or will you breed her in the future if i let you have her? Will you send us updates about her from time to time and pictures? I am just being concerned about the type of home she will be going to ,so that is why i am curious to know. I love her so much and we want to make sure goes to a family that will show her the affection she deserves. Thanks. |

Thoams Birkoff [tbirkoff@yahoo.com] Hi, Thanks for keeping me posted and for rightly answering the questions.I am glad i could find such a home like yours for the little girl.I believe you will offer her the best of love.I am giving the bird free to a loving and caring family .i am doing this in deep pains and tears but there is less i can do as i will be leaving to Australia for work. my fear is that might be i will not be able to get the best of home for the bird. are you sure you can provide the best for the bird? Will you be able to come over to get her? or can i arrange with a transportation agency that will come over with her to your address so that you pay the expenses directly to the agency? which do you prefer? i presently live in Belfast Ireland and will be sending the bird from here. what do you think? get back so that we can sort this out please .attached are pictures of the bird . she is called Bella.Thank you for your time and expect to read from you soon. |
