BirdsNow

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,

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 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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Their Fraud dept called. Wanted all kinds of personal information. After I paid to list my Parrot
For sale, and they would fix the problem because I was legit. Liars.

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.

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.
