Well, I have pretty much laid it plain and simple to her that I wasn't interested in a scam...and I haven't heard back from her in 2 days.. Oh well!

Yea...she keeps scurrying around my questions, especially the phone number!! It is like I am being repetitive about contact over the phone. I told my husband that I wouldn't give her money to have them shipped but straight to the airlines. We are in two completely different states.

So... this person wants to find a new home for her birds for free... and here is our ongoing emails back and forth... Please give me some insight if this person is a scammer!! Her email: hi, Thanks for your mail regarding my African Grey birds. . do you have children? do they love birds? do you have a VET around your locality ?Sorry for all the questions I just want to make sure my babies go to a lovely home.there are still available to any one prepared to provide them with enough care and love,where they will be well spoil with all their needs......they are 14months old and has very good temperament with kids and other pets,very playful love to play around with toys and kids, they are health guaranteed and DNA tested. They are up to date on all their shots and will be coming along side with their health papers and vet records.they also speak English and are very intelligent and highly social birds. they have a very extended vocabulary they say hello, what, cracker Caesar, thank you, shut up and many more they are very eager to learn and play..they are very cute,their feathers are exquisite looking feathers and colors.they are not screamers,of courser they do have some loud moments, but that is normal and to be expected with a large bird they love their showers.......they are called Rex and Nicky and i am actually giving them out because they belonged to my daughter(Kelly) but with a heavy heart i lost Kelly and she was all i got , i work with a global,broad-based health care company devoted to discovering new medicines, new technologies and new ways to manage health .Kelly died in an accident last 3 weeks on her way back from her piano classes and i have very bad memories when i see these birds around me,because she was always together with them since i am always busy in the laboratory. Rex and Nicky has been very lonely since Kelly passed away so the best thing i decided on as my colleague advised me was to look a a caring home who will promise to do just the best for them. get back for more detail and heir most recent picture and tell me if you are ready to have this little guys so i can start compiling all their legal document because they will be coming along with the documents including some toys they enjoy playing with. Mine: am so sorry to hear of your daughter, I have a 21 month old lil girl and another on the way...and I couldn't even imagine. My mom actually bred Macaws and has an African Grey named Lucy...of whom I fell in love with because she talks like crazy. The only problem is with my husband because we are moving to Virginia next month...and I want them but I don't know how to transport them since we will be driving. I would be honored to have them since I can introduce them to my daughters and they can grow up with the parrots. Where are you located, and can I have your number so I can contact you? Thank you! Hers: thanks for the speedy response.i really do appreciate the interest you have for the birds i believe your home will be the right home for them. before we proceed with this, it will be an agreement between the two of us that you will never give out my babies for sale.i have never intended to give them up for sale. it will seem to me as i am giving out my own biological children for sale.what i need from you as the reward for my babies is to make sure you treat them with great love and affection. African Grey birds have the reputation as being the best talkers of the parrot kingdom. They have an uncanny ability to not only mimic speech, but mimic it in a voice that sounds quite human. They also imitate sounds with incredible accuracy, from dripping faucets to construction equipment. Be careful about uttering any words you don't want them to learn, since they seem to have a knack for learning just what you don't want them to learn!. they will be coming along side to you with all their legal document and a cage which i am going to deliver them inside. i will equally include some toys they enjoy playing with and also a hand book which is going to guide you on their likes and dislikes ok. i am in Moline. where precisely are you located???? below are some pictures of the birds. the male is called Rex and the female is called Nicky. hope you will love them so much. let me know if you are ready for them so that i can start arranging every thing that they will be coming along with. looking forward to read from you Mine: Ma'am, I would never sell these birds, that is not my intentions. I have always wanted an African Grey as my own because I watched my mom nurture and raise her parrots..and I have been fortunate that I have exposure and knowledge of these amazing parrots. Hers: soundsgreat. now that you are a bit far from me.. i don't know how this transaction is going to work. will you love to came and receive the birds here in Moline,IL or you will love me to make arrangment for them to be delivered to you. let me know what you think as soon as possible. (Umm...I have only given her my first name and my number...to call me and work out the details..what bothers me is she hasn't given me her number yet. I could have them transported on a plane..but I would pay the airline not her...although, we haven't discussed those arrangements yet!):unsure: and for doing the occupation that she does...her English sucks.
