Chook Me!

how do I stop getting flagged on craigs list?

This is the add posted on community in pets OK Hears the deal , My Quaker was stolen/ lost 2 weeks ago and I am in the market for a new bird . But it has been a while since I have bought one . I have had a Cockatoo in the mid 80's , Cockatiels , Conures , and I have raised from days past hatching . All of successfully . Now I would be willing to pay a rehoming fee . or getting a bird that requires hand feedings. I will give a bird lots of attention and a huge cage . I was given a wild Love bird to fill the silence for now and we may yet become buddies . He was found outside in a chicken coop. so he is wild but I think he is quite surprised that I let him fly around the room during the day. Problem is he is to small for the cage I have . He can squeeze through the bars . Not good Now , I would like to know what I should expect to pay for different birds both from hand feedings , Problem birds ( plucker's) and older birds .I only want 1 good sized bird bit I am interested in a Rosella , Cockatoo , Quaker , Conure , or a Amazon parrots,and senegal in particular , most any medium sized to larger birds .I would love a macaw but I know I cannot afford it.unless it is a neglected plucker . NO Louries . I only plan on having one larger bird with this love bird .( NOT IN THE SAME CAGE). I am planning on keeping the bird as a companion. It will not be left alone much at all. I work where I live so being away is being in another room . I can deal with problems like plucking and noise but not a bird that attacks everything that comes near it , that would be a damaged bird beyond my patients. If it bites , no problem , if it breaks the skin , no problem, if it tries to snap off my finger, problem! this love bird is right now on my computer screen , not bad for a wild bird aeh ? we will be friends soon. So if someone could take the time to tell me how much money I should expect to pay in different situations I would appreciate it. Please , no full price expensive birds, I can tell you now I will not be able to afford it. For the right bird, I might be interested in eating nothing but romen noodles for 2 months and then come up with about $600. I don't really need a cage but that does not mean I wont make use of one. A smaller nice cage would be used as an indoor cage and my large cage would be used as an outdoor cage. call 832-576-5790 I get flagged off of craigs list within 15 minutes of posting every time . Is there something wrong with the add? I Have shown you the entire add . You tell me what is wrong with it ??

1. You need to add more information. I honestly don't know what you are asking so I can't help, and I'm sure many others can't help either.
2. You aren't supposed to post phone number in the adds maybe.At least I don't think so. The times I have posted a phone number in craigslist,my post was removed right away.So try to do that. The person can still email you instead of calling.
