There has been a request for a consolidated list of companies or persons to avoid doing business with, whether they have taken money and not delivered a product, treat their animals poorly, or misrepresent themselves or their products. I do not know of any to report, but you all may feel free to share your warnings here - with a few restrictions:
1) I have little patience for slander or unfounded criticisms. Keep your reviews of companies relatively civil. Stick to the facts of the situation and wherever possible present any evidence you have.
2) If any of the company owners or representatives see the complaint(s) and wish to reply they are free to do so or they may contact me or the site admins, and solely at our own discretion we may remove any complaints we deem to be unfounded.
3) Do not post criticisms of any companies that advertise here on ParrotForums.com (ie banner or side bar ads). If you do have a problem with any of these companies do not hesitate to report it to me or the admins. We will work to resolve it, and if it cannot be resolved I'm sure the ads can be removed after which the experience can be shared publicly.
Yes, I know it's troubling to see things run by money, but advertiser fees keep this site up and open as a place for us to all share and learn. It would be unethical to accept money from a company while bad mouthing them - so if there is a problem make sure we quit taking money from them before we bad mouth them
Other than that please do share - hopefully we can learn from each others mistakes and avoid contributing to scam artists.
