It seems a bit sketchy that all of the pictures of birds are artwork, so I would say scam. The “about us” page doesn't seem to be stolen though so at least they put some effort into that lol

If I had to say, I would say that it is probably scam? I am not 100% sure though.

It is SUPER sketchy that there are zero actual bird photos on that website. If they had any of those species to hand it would be trivially easy to take an original photo that couldn’t be reverse image searched. Even a photo that’s a few years out of date or kind of blurry/not professional looking would be less weird than art. Just my opinion.

I too thought it was super weird that they didn’t post photos of actual birds on the site so I went to customer reviews and they looked very sus as my kid would say so I searched up Pionus parrot tag in insta and then blue headed Pionus and found 2 pics they stole within 5 minutes so I’d say the reviews are fake... and that would make me think so is the seller
