Wonky Craigslist Ad

[Forest]

I was looking on craigslist in my area and found this ad, "$50. Bird cage for sale. Comes with 2 parakeets for free." The budgies are apparently incidental.

That's horrifying! I'm so sorry for those poor little fluffs!!

You can't sell animals on Craigslist so it is a workaround.

Oh, I didn't know that. I thought it was facebook where you can't sell animals. Hopefully that means the person who placed the ad does give two twigs about the budgies.

I hope so Facebook you also cannot sell animals. Craigslist will let you rehome them with a small fee but back when it first came out it was common to sell the cage and give the pets away for free as a way to hopefully prevent being flagged.

That makes me feel better. And there was me all indignant over nothing.

It's a normal reaction we love animals and don't want any to go unloved!

I’ve seen lots of those ads lately. And just TONS of ads in general. Must be people losing their job, it’s so sad.

Also saw an ad for a $200 cage with everything inside... there were 2 cockatiels in it.
