I'm sorry, but you really have to laugh at some of these things, like when they have a sweet blue and gold macaw looking for a new home, up to date on all shots with current rabies vaccine. Really?!?? hmmm... LOL

Yeah, I think it would be pretty moot. Anything that has rabies that would bite the bird to transmit it would probably have killed it from the initial bite.

I feel like such a failed Care Giver - how will my Amazon ever forgive me.

The worst part about that ad. Someone out there is likely looking at that and thinking, Oh, that great - they clearly care about this Parrot and life is going to be truly wonderful cause they care. Can't be a scam, cause they care, etc....

This needs to be added to that Thread on how to spot a Scam!

Yes some do get that but even that isn't entirely effective and anyone actually selling a bird vaccinated for it would be specific.
