Just browsing 'Petlink' and came across a pair of these for sale . .

Didn't know that they existed here

I am not thinking of buying, but any further info?

Well I checked out GHM's in Oz with Professor Google . .

One sale site had some in Darwin and Melbourne . . both with the same avatar . . bit strange??

Same(?) guy but from a different place again, had a beautiful hand-reared B&G Macaw for $370 . .

So the 'penny dropped' :flopsy: . . . Well it had started to drop right from the start

What pleasure do these guys get out of this?

Surely nobody would think that a B&G would be that price . . or would they??

One mug thought that there were GHM's in Oz :irked:

There is a risk involved with emailing these sort of people especially if they're directing people to contact the same email address as some people use email contact to upload viruses and spyware onto your computer to access personal details. I would personally avoid making any attempt to contact

I have done it before with those annoying people who ring saying you have a problem with windows. After all angles of trying to get rid of them many times over more then a year,I decided to play them. I kept them on the phone for 40 minutes trying to fix my computer couldn't work out how to turn it on etc :lol: . I have not had them ring back since. Best 40 minutes wasted on con-men in my life.

I have seen many a hill mynah in SE Asia that has remarkable talking skills which lead me to wonder if the same is true of all mynah's including the Indian's we have here in Australia. A quick youtube gave the answer! I'm actually surprised more people don't keep them.

That's very true, many a time i have been asked if i could get some young mynah's out of a nest for people to hand rear and teach them to talk, to be honest i couldn't be bothered as i think they are flying rats. Craig :wtf:

The Indian Mynahs are always immaculately feathered . . actually very attractive birds
