I can't be sure... But go with this; If it seems too good to be true, then it most likely is.
Don't buy eggs from this web site.Bird breeders arnt even allowed to sell unweaned chicks so selling unhatched eggs is outrageous. Plus for at least 14 days after hatching the chiks have to be fed by their parents,then humans can step in to handfeed.
I am not sure if that particular site is a scam or not but breeders do sell fertile eggs to EDUCATED breeders that know how to raise the eggs. If you don't have experience with it, then I wouldn't even consider it because it would be a waste of your time. It isn't easy to do and not for the everyday person wanting a hobby.
Absolutely. First of all the prices are just ridiculous. A Hyacinth Macaw fertile egg for $60? No way. Hyacinth Macaws usually cost about $10,000. Also, if you notice, the wording and grammar of this notice is a little off. This usually indicates a scam from another country.
I want to see the pictures. Are they going to ship an egg to you? how does the egg stay warm during a shipping process FedEx Overnight ?? sounds like an interesting investment they're selling incubators !!! do you really want to buy an incubator?? I have some specialty bred miniature parrots they're sold in dozens only I can FedEx them to your doorstep they come with the incubator you will need to hatch them completely guaranteed to hatch or you get your money back I guarantee the bird will hatch, or your money back for real no money back on the incubator though, the shipping has taken it's toll on it I could send you another egg to replace the one that didn't hatch FREE low shipping cost on account of the loss of the first egg Do you see where this is going? It's a scam by the way, my miniature parrot eggs available in the dozen are only available at specialty distributors like myself and your local safeway
I've heard of people buying Parrot's fertile eggs before, but I hope you know the work and time involved to keep the babies alive. It's a 24/7 job. If you want to do this really check into it! As far as these being a scam you've got a 50/50 chance. Hope it all works out for the best. Take care;~)
Probably is, and if not, it is not something for the new by in birds to attempt. The eggs have to be turned and kept heated for the entire time in the egg and it can only be a quarter turn. If they make it to hatching they require a knowledgeable person to know how to hand feed the baby for a few months with feedings every two hours around the clock. Plus, chicks pulled to soon after hatching from their parents are not allowed to learn the traits of a bird. This is so wrong it should be illegal, bu it isn't' and many new to the parrot trade get hurt and lose a lot of money. Formula for baby parrots is expensive too.
I've seen that same excat add on many differnt on line classafied ad's i've been too, along with some differnt ones, i've seen em selling budgie eggs and Quaker eggs for 40 bucks ( you can't even get a Quaker for 40 bucks! fully weaned and or fully grown, unless some one is re-homing it and even then i haven't found them for under 75 bucks ) and Ya know what I think it is Against the law to sell any type of bird eggs, but I'm not 100% positive .. But i just looked right past it,
maybe... seems like it
It's a scam, and it's illegal. Use the common sense you were born with people. Many of these sites are under investigation for fraud, illegal wire transfers, money order scams just to name a few. Yea eggs are cheap, the cost of the incubators are thousands of dollars, plus shipping will cost you the price of both legs, LOL, then there is the handling charge and there goes the other arm, LMAO OMG are some of you this nieve?
