I do not know if the spammer is a legal seller of Parrots or not. A legally bred and properly raised parrot is fine. A bird caught in the wild is not a good pet and is illegal in most countries. It is illegal to trade parrots that are on the endangered species list. Buying birds from overseas is so fraught with trouble it isn't worth getting involved in.

Good info here

Also, wouldn't that be a great way of spreading the Avian Influenza?

Don't know why this spam stuck in my craw this morning; this isn't a pet issue of mine, just hate to see these things take wing. The very idea of someone feathering their nest with protected birds!
