“Birdsnow is wonderful”

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.

“This site does not deserve any stars”

This site is the poorest designed site ever. You fill out the Ad, no warnings or messages of a blank field not allowed and submit the ad, no message, no way to pay, no rejection only no ad appears. A day or so later it disappears. So I opened a ticket on the issue and received this message: Your ad is not setup correctly. You need to fix it. Make sure all fields are correctly filled out, including the bird name. Let us know when done Best regards, BirdsNow Support http://www.birdsnow.com Then when I went back to see if I could figure out how to read an idiots mind the ad had been totally deleted so now I have to start over. Guess the idiot is the person that continues to try and please these idiots

I shouldnt be writing a review yet since I havent gone and bought the bird in person yet, but the seller I contacted who is selling two parakeets seems to be real. They said to pick up in person and didnt ask for money up front. Theyve answered questions about the birds over the course of a couple of weeks since Im waiting for quarantine to end. I dont believe its a scam, and dont have any other signs to reassure me other than the ones I gave, whether there will be a small catch - like the bird was semi unhealthy or aggressive. The owner seems to have details on each of the bird's personalities so I feel they are real. Im looking forward to seeing them in person and taking a vacation in the town the birds are in so I can bring them back on the last day.
Im guessing this site isn't going to have many in person sales or sales right now in general due to COVA-19.

Sadly I was looking to rehome my bird. I posted my information on BirdsNow and got a call just a few hours later. By the next day, the buyers came over and brought my baby to her new home. I couldn't have been more pleased. Thank you BirdsNow for giving me the platform to advertise my bird and help me find her a new home.

I got scammed $500 dollar from a seller for 2 birds, stay away from this website, false pictures, the owner named mellisa and the shipment people are colleague, Ad number is *******. I sent money by MoneyGram to the receiver named Kom Loise in Baltimore MD, spoke to the person and he still kept the money, he told me he needed $900 more for insurance and that i would get reimbursed when my birds get delivered to my home the next day. It was too late, before I realized it was a scam. If that site can not protect users, it needs to be shut down.
The fraud parrot owner's phone number: *******699; email: *******@hotmail.com
The fraud shipment company phone number: *******147; email: *******@usa.com

Do not buy African Grey parrots from *******181
This is a scam, they will only accept payments through Walmart. They claim the wife is ill and they have to get rid of the birds, IT IS ALL A LIE!
Please DO NOT send money to anybody unless their is a paper trail such as Paypal.

This website is allowing people to sell birds that aren't legit. People on this website will scam you. There's someone selling African Grey parrots that aren't anything like the description. They don't let you see the bird in advance. The bird you get is not the one pictured. They use the same picture and description to sell other birds. Once they get your money, you can't get in touch with them. They completely ghost you. When you try to report this type of activity, the website won't acknowledge it. You literally can not get in touch with anyone running this website. I'm sure they know it's going on, but do nothing about it. Spend your money with a reputable breeder. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS WEBSITE! Oh, and don't buy an African Grey from Steve in Fairfax. It's all just made up. You won't get anything like the bird pictured or in the description. This one has a seriously deformed right foot. That was not disclosed at any time. You can't really see the bird because they give you the bird in a little carrier.

Tip for consumers:
Fraudulent website

Birds Now has been influential in helping me contact buyers for my Bourke Parakeets for several years now. They are the BEST BIRDS FOR SALE SITE on the internet! Thank you from Rosie Birds at Windy Ridge Rosies.

As many have already said, this page is a fraud, do not fall for it, it is not what it seems and when they ask for more money it is already a reason for suspicion

I purchased two doves from a seller locally and couldn't be more happy with my purchase. I now have birds of my own to sell and hopefully will have a good result.

Best site to sell your bird. Very legit and your clients don't stress you up. You give a location, meet you with your client and deal is done.

143 views and not one response to a pair of free juvenile parrolets. Makes me wonder if the ad was actually seen.
