I was on my computer tonight and saw this ad, clearly I thought the asking price was a mistake....I e-mailed the owner kindly indicating I thought it might have been a typo. this was the owners response back:

For privacy issues, and respect for the owner, I have omited the owners name, and changed the birds names...

she sent pics as well, I just can't wrap my brain around this!!
>>pictures are after her response<<

LOOK AT THE PRICE!!:eek::eek::eek:

Hello There'
Thanks for the interest and to our lovely birds, I still a pair Available for sale. They are known as Mary and John. To talk a bit about them, they are very playful and so funny, they talk and dance..they love repeating what ever people say. They love being outside. Also they have a very extended vocabulary, they say hello, what, cracker, Caesar, thank you, shut up and many more they are very eager to learn and play..They are very cute, their feathers are exquisite looking feathers and colors. They are not screamers, though they do have some loud moments, but that is normal and to be expected with a large bird. They love their showers, I put them on a ladder in the shower with me and let the warm water run over them. Their eyes just say it all, they love it! they love table scraps.Once you earn them trust you can hold them like a baby upside down and play with their feet, they'll love neck rubs or for you to help scratch the casing off their new feathers.

$1,999 ! This has to be some kind of scam! If not, I'll find the money somehow!

i am with plax, scam... you will be lucky if you can find a breeder pair for $7500 and even then you are looking bad blood and possible health issues... so there is no way at all. The last one i knew someone bought was $13500 for a female breeding age this was no male and the female was a great female. Most babies are sold $15000 and then breeder pairs atleast $10000 on a good day. dont mean to burst your bubble:(

I say make sure you meet that person and the birds in daylight and bring someone thats big and has a gun just to be safe as it could be a scam. If its not wow lucky you! They are gorgeous!!!
