I figured we could start a sticky listing all the scammed and breeders that are less than ideal. Feel free to post websites, text screenshots, etc. Anything it takes to keep you from losing money, tears, etc. I also would like this to be a thread where one can post suspicious or peculiar activity for all of us to investigate if the said breeder is legitimate. I'll go first. Company/Breeder: Parrots Home Location: Cameroon Phone Number: 6016003128 Website: http://www.parrotshome.com What their email looks like: As you can see it looks very legitimate to the naked eye or unsuspecting people. I've bought enough things on the Internet to know what to look for so I hope this post helps someone else.

I also want to note that I've tried to purchase CAG's online from birdbreeders.com and was ripped off by 3 different people. They either are from Cameroon, Africa, or from somewhere in the US, but from a fake address/phone number and ONLY want to text, or they call from a restricted number. Is there a website where I can find a LEGITIMATE breeder?

Hello everyone, thank you for the welcome's. We decided on the Congo African Grey's because my wife grew up with 3 of them. They had 10 parrots total and the CAG was her favorite of them all. They're personality seems to be the most fitting for our small family. When I look at future birds/pets, I like to research their purpose and evolutionary traits/abilities in the wild. I've read that they need daily interaction and stimulation, since I cannot see, how is this achieved. Would it be okay leaving him/her on your shoulder and talk to it while working on the computer? I'm not sure what people mean by interact. I guess I'm not sure what "interact" with a bird means.

Hello everyone, I would like to thank everyone for allowing me to join as I'm sure our time together will be very beneficial. I'll introduce myself. I am a 25 year old blind computer scientist by day, and massage therapist in the evening. My wife, who is 23, is a Special Needs teacher here in town. We love our careers and alll of our animals. We have 4 dogs, 3 cats and 16 birds such as: pheasants, peacocks, guineas, and chickens. Now we are ready to graduate to PARROTS! Family Pictures below: For my FIRST question. Is it okay to buy a baby African Grey online from a trusted breeder? What I mean is, is there a chance it would not bond with you, or just wouldn't have anything to do with the owner? I look forward to meeting all of you and learning from your past trials and mistakes and hearing wonderful stories. Signing off for now! John & Morgan
