Clearly whoever's checking the gumtree bird adds has no idea what's going on.
Check out this add - Falcon Bird - the seller doens't even know the species! Blind freddy can tell this bozo just trapped the poor thing in his own backyard and now he's trying to make a quid.

Looks like they have had it for a while judging by the state of the aviary..

I doubt aviary is an accurate description - proabably more like a packing case with wire on the front.

And what do you think's being bred in here? Is that a Gouldian in colum 1 row 2? Are these cabinets in their house?

Thanks for the info –we are already investigating this complaint as it has also been raised by many other people. Cheers

That's what the local authorities have to say about it.

Maybe he called it 'falcon', because 'gosh' is a prohibited word

Seriously, I hope its a kid, because if he is an adult and the 'authorities' become involved his little business venture will 'lay an egg' . . bigtime

Almost as bad as the "Falcon" is the "africa bird"

Claimed to be "readay for berading" [sic] it actually looks like a hen Plum-headed Parrot (a species from south-east asia) and in very poor condition judging by the terrible state of it's tail.

They have now told it me its because of the virus found in the victorian pigeons and they have banned australia wide, even when I have changed to doves .. go figure.. pete

At least it shows some attempt to do the right thing, all be it off kilter. Better than letting the proliferation of foriegn parrott adds continue, despite the fact that they are overseas and you will lose your money, like some were doing in the past.
