BirdsNow

I contacted this presumed seller: https://www.birdsnow.com/bird-ad-*******
1. The guy told me his name which is different from the name on the bank account which I asked him to provide for Wire Transfer.
2. Poor English grammar.
3. When I asked him to provide the vet's name it took him awhile to return and say: Mr. Scott but don't worry my parrot is very healthy. Bla bla.
4. Also, the picture posted here is from a file's name "cute-bird-for-sale-in-edmonton-ab.jpg" which means the bird is in Edmonton, Canada, nor Colorado!

Very unimpressed with how this website is ran nothing but scammers and your site just allows it too take from those that have a good heart. Very sad never ever again will we use this website found many of the picture we got sent on Instagram and facebook

I cannot understand these low ratings! My experience with Birdsnow has been positive. I have made many new relationships thru Birdsnow. A bad experience with a buyer or seller should not tone the entire website. Don't throw out the baby with the bathwater! I will continue to use Birdsnow, and recommend it to many others. You can meet bad business people on any website, you must use discretion and common sense. Birdsnow is a great tool, in my opinion.

If you see $700 for any type of Macaw. Stay away from these scamer. They will more likely to copy and paste there answers. 0 knowledge about bird nutrition. Demand for shipping with cash app with documentation of the birds. Buy bird in person only.

I was heartbroken and worried. I had to find a home for my sweet bird of six years. I didn't know how to find him a good home until I found this site. I had several wonderful people contact me and was able to choose the best match.

Mango went right to her and was so sweet and loving with her that I knew it was a good choice.
Thank you

I realized it was a scam right away. Just want to let other people know.
Check their cell number here: https://www.freecarrierlookup.com/ If it's a voice-over IP or not a major carrier more likely it's a scam.
Remember to pick up birds in person ONLY.

Most ads say local but when contacted by seller they say have relocated. Want you to send money and they will ship. Most email reply are of the same content they change the bird names and their location. When you question they do not respond back. Some sellers are on the up and up but be cautious. State you only will do COD upon inspection. Also make copy of all text discussions.

It's been almost two years since I got my adorable greencheek from this website. She was handfed and we bonded almost instantly.

However, I do understand that this site is not heavily regulated and is probably full of scammers. Please meet up with the person you are buying from and see the bird before purchasing! Also, pay in person!

For two weeks they have played games with me! Trying to list 3 baby Lilac Crown Parrots for sale. They lied to me and said I had an Ad Keep sending me my questions back with no info. No one can find my supposed Bird Ad. I can't. This is not a false review. This is my current experience. I dealt with them before and they were professional and we got results. I am confused about thier service to me. If you are fortunate enough to have them place an Ad for you it was a great site.
It's as if they are showing cruelty about my innocent, sincere request to list my baby Lilac Amazon's for sale.
If interested I am *******@gmail.com. Birds born 6/5/20 and next few days. Hand-fed. Smart, starting to talk.

I can not believe the low ratings of birds now. Com. I have always done well finding buyers for my bird business. Let me tell you if I did not have this sight to list my birds on I think my business would not have survived. Love this sight. My business is Playful Spirits Parakeets.

I have been posting ads on this site for at least three years and have never had a problem with the site. When a buyer is looking for a bird, common sense would seem to dictate that before sending money they would check the seller's state license and Better Business Bureau ratings first. I never ship birds, ever. I can't imagine anyone buying a pet sight unseen, with no idea as to the bird's health or personality. Buyers also need to keep in mind that most reputable bird breeders have stopped shipping parrots or cockatiels because the bird flu regulations have made it almost impossible to do so at present. The site isn't a scammer and shouldn't be held responsible for people using it who are.

We are forced to rehome several of our birds because we are moving out of the country and are unable to take them with us. Placing a photo ad on BirdsNow received immediate response from folks who really care about birds.

I went on this site intending to find an African grey parrot and found nothing but scam artists flooding my phone and my emails. My recommendation is avoid this site completely and only adopt in person.

This site is effective for selling birds. Sellers have the right to block buyers who ask a lot of questions and never buy. They're annoying and life is too short. It is always the buyers responsibility to take the bird to the vet not the seller. Most of the birds are well and buyers can see if there's illness by sight from fluff and diarrhea. Expecting sellers to do dna tests on birds are stupid. Buyers asking PetSmart to do dna tests are stupid and should spend their own money on that kind of bull$#*!

Watch out for scammers, there are so many on this website I have called and let them know a half dozen times and they call me back and ask me to do the research on it, I give them the name And copied them the add. I'm just saying be careful and watch out for scammers.

The birds might seem cheap but it's for a reason. They want you to think you getting the birds for a really good price so you get excited and think you are getting a good deal but the truth is you will not be receiving any birds. They will call you and rush you to send the money fast so you won't have anytime to realize that you are being scammed. Don't believe in this website luckily I saw some red flags and didn't fall for the scam thanks to wise people around me who warned me. Hopefully I can help other people who are victims to these scammers.

I'm a canary breeder and have used this site to help sell my babies. I don't ship birds and only sell ones in great health. I always encouragement my customers to see several birds and choose the best one for their needs and wants. I also give advice on the schedule my birds are on and how to get them on the schedule of their new surroundings with the least amount of stress to the bird. If a seller doesn't take time to help you get the best bird and welcome questions even after you take the bird home then beware. Shipping birds is fairly dangerous and I wouldn't recommend buying that way unless it's the only way for your area.

I was attempting to buy a cockatiel named Lucas but he was already sold. So, I kept looking and found another one that I liked and it was better priced. I'm very pleased with my purchase and the vendor.

Very unimpressed with how this website is ran nothing but theft, even from the birdsnow website owner. They steal from the breeders who post and from customers. Don't use this site birdsnow to post your birds on don't use this site to buy from BirdsNow. Trust your gut go to a real website and or breeder. Not birdsNow. I highly recommend going somewhere else. Do not use buy or post birds on birdsNow.

I had a great experience as a first time bird seller. I wasn't sure of the process at first, but the site was easy to figure out and navigate. I was amazed by the number of inquiries and had over 1700 views in just a few weeks. I highly recommend for both buying and selling!

I don't think the site itself are the scammers. The "sellers" are the scammers. (Let me say, not all the sellers.) Especially people that advertise the African Greys. Red Flag number one: If the price is low, it is too good to be true. Scammers! African Greys are very expensive. Scammers will advertise them for under 1k. These birds are in high demand, you can get double for them. Red Flag number 2: They don't make any sense and their responses are very vague and all over the place. They provide bogus numbers or addresses. Research, research, research! Red flag number 3: They ask for the money up front. Big no, no. Red Flag number 4: Pictures. You may see those very pictures they provide online. So be careful who you buy from. Do your research!

I purchased a bird from this site for 900.00. After supposed shipping, I was asked to send another REFUNDABLE 1000. 00 to cover an inappropriate shipping cage and insurance, which I did. Long story short. 2 hours after quoted delivery time, still no sight of her, and of course all airport contacts were closed. Both seller and shipper were not replying to any communication. I immediately contacted Venmo to stop payment, as well as my bank to dishonor payment. DO NOT USE THIS SELLER! I have recorded conversations and text proof that will be used in reporting all those involved in the collection of monies. BUYER BEWARE!

I got scammed $500 dollars from a seller for 2 birds, stay away from this website, false pictures, people from cameroom running scam business, i sent money western unioned, spoke to the person and he still kept the money, he told me he needed $2300 more for insurance and that i would get reimbursed when my birds get delivered to my home the next day, that's when i questioned him, but it was too late, before i realized it was a scam, that site needs to be shut down
