I'm New - scam?

[Mizzely]

Greys have soared in prices on the last few years due to demand, sadly! I remember other people on the forum complaining about it, too.

If you are looking for a baby and don't mind if the bird is shipped Jean Pattison is a highly regarded breeder.

Do check out rescue agencies such as Olive Branch, Parrots First and PEAC.

Hi Everyone. I'm John. I have a Cape Parrot and a green cheek conure that love me to death and a cockateil who hates me

Has anybody heard of "Up-Hero Parrots"? I was thinking of buying from them. They are located in California. Their prices seem quite low, and they have a suspicious lack of reviews on the web, or perhaps I'm not looking in the right places or the searches aren't functioning the way I'd hoped? They said I could pick up a grey and pay on location, which seems unlikely for a complete scam to offer. Can anyone help?

Unfortunately I am embarrassed to say this but they scammed me out of a lot of money for hyacinth macaws. They are slick and always know what to say to keep you wanting to keep spending.

Oh dear, that’s awful. I’m sorry to hear that you lost your money to scammers
