Where Can I Buy Macaw Eggs Without Getting Scammed?

[MyFeatheredFlock]

I’m trying to find somewhere that sells Macaw eggs, I recently got an incubator and wanted to hatch my own Macaw. Has anyone here ever bought parrots eggs? And if you have, where? I can’t find anywhere that seems legit online.

Do you have handfeeding experience? If not, look into getting a weaned macaw. Even with handfeeding experience, raising a baby bird from day 1 is my worst fear, SO MUCH can go wrong! Here's a list of issues:

Please do not buy a parrot egg online. It is a scam as old as the internet, probably even older. Not only is it a scam, but the money it generates perpetuates hugely unethical and cruel breeding practices, often based in places like Cameroon or Nigeria, and the chances of your receiving an actual fertilized and viable parrot egg in exchange for your money are zero. In fact if anyone ever shows up here claiming to sell parrot eggs online their account is immediately suspended, *that* is how much a guaranteed scam it is.

No. Please don't.
1. It's 100% a scam
2. Even if it's real, chances of it hatching is very low, and survival even lower.
