This site is the poorest designed site ever. You fill out the Ad, no warnings or messages of a blank field not allowed and submit the ad, no message, no way to pay, no rejection only no ad appears. A day or so later it disappears. So I opened a ticket on the issue and received this message:

Your ad is not setup correctly. You need to fix it. Make sure all fields are correctly filled out, including the bird name. Let us know when done

Best regards,

http://www.birdsnow.com

Then when I went back to see if I could figure out how to read an idiots mind the ad had been totally deleted so now I have to start over. Guess the idiot is the person that continues to try and please these idiots

Very suspicious
January 7, 2024

I contacted this presumed seller: https://www.birdsnow.com/bird-ad-*******
1. The guy told me his name which is different from the name on the bank account which I asked him to provide for Wire Transfer.
2. Poor English grammar.
3. When I asked him to provide the vet's name it took him awhile to return and say: Mr. Scott but don't worry my parrot is very healthy. Bla bla.
4. Also, the picture posted here is from a file's name "cute-bird-for-sale-in-edmonton-ab.jpg" which means the bird is in Edmonton, Canada, nor Colorado!

Scam!
April 29, 2023

This website is allowing people to sell birds that aren't legit. People on this website will scam you. There's someone selling African Grey parrots that aren't anything like the description. They don't let you see the bird in advance. The bird you get is not the one pictured. They use the same picture and description to sell other birds. Once they get your money, you can't get in touch with them. They completely ghost you. When you try to report this type of activity, the website won't acknowledge it. You literally can not get in touch with anyone running this website. I'm sure they know it's going on, but do nothing about it. Spend your money with a reputable breeder. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS WEBSITE! Oh, and don't buy an African Grey from Steve in Fairfax. It's all just made up. You won't get anything like the bird pictured or in the description. This one has a seriously deformed right foot. That was not disclosed at any time. You can't really see the bird because they give you the bird in a little carrier.

This site is effective for selling birds. Sellers have the right to block buyers who ask a lot of questions and never buy. They're annoying and life is too short. It is always the buyers responsibility to take the bird to the vet not the seller. Most of the birds are well and buyers can see if there's illness by sight from fluff and diarrhea. Expecting sellers to do dna tests on birds are stupid. Buyers asking PetSmart to do dna tests are stupid and should spend their own money on that kind of bull$#*!

It's been almost two years since I got my adorable greencheek from this website. She was handfed and we bonded almost instantly.

However, I do understand that this site is not heavily regulated and is probably full of scammers. Please meet up with the person you are buying from and see the bird before purchasing! Also, pay in person!

Poor response!
September 3, 2022

143 views and not one response to a pair of free juvenile parrolets. Makes me wonder if the ad was actually seen.

This page is a fraud
November 8, 2021

As many have already said, this page is a fraud, do not fall for it, it is not what it seems and when they ask for more money it is already a reason for suspicion

I realized it was a scam right away. Just want to let other people know.
Check their cell number here: https://www.freecarrierlookup.com/ If it's a voice-over IP or not a major carrier more likely it's a scam.
Remember to pick up birds in person ONLY.

Good experience
March 28, 2021

I purchased two doves from a seller locally and couldn't be more happy with my purchase. I now have birds of my own to sell and hopefully will have a good result.

Very unimpressed with how this website is ran nothing but theft, even from the birdsnow website owner. They steal from the breeders who post and from customers. Don't use this site birdsnow to post your birds on don't use this site to buy from BirdsNow. Trust your gut go to a real website and or breeder. Not birdsNow. I highly recommend going somewhere else. Do not use buy or post birds on birdsNow.

Sadly I was looking to rehome my bird. I posted my information on BirdsNow and got a call just a few hours later. By the next day, the buyers came over and brought my baby to her new home. I couldn't have been more pleased. Thank you BirdsNow for giving me the platform to advertise my bird and help me find her a new home.

I can not believe the low ratings of birds now. Com. I have always done well finding buyers for my bird business. Let me tell you if I did not have this sight to list my birds on I think my business would not have survived. Love this sight. My business is Playful Spirits Parakeets.

Filled with scam
September 23, 2020

I went on this site intending to find an African grey parrot and found nothing but scam artists flooding my phone and my emails. My recommendation is avoid this site completely and only adopt in person.

Lucas

I was attempting to buy a cockatiel named Lucas but he was already sold. So, I kept looking and found another one that I liked and it was better priced. I'm very pleased with my purchase and the vendor.

For two weeks they have played games with me! Trying to list 3 baby Lilac Crown Parrots for sale. They lied to me and said I had an Ad Keep sending me my questions back with no info. No one can find my supposed Bird Ad. I can't. This is not a false review. This is my current experience. I dealt with them before and they were professional and we got results. I am confused about thier service to me. If you are fortunate enough to have them place an Ad for you it was a great site.
It's as if they are showing cruelty about my innocent, sincere request to list my baby Lilac Amazon's for sale.
If interested I am *******@gmail.com. Birds born 6/5/20 and next few days. Hand-fed. Smart, starting to talk.

We are forced to rehome several of our birds because we are moving out of the country and are unable to take them with us. Placing a photo ad on BirdsNow received immediate response from folks who really care about birds.

DO NOT GET SCAMMED!
August 14, 2020

I purchased a bird from this site for 900.00. After supposed shipping, I was asked to send another REFUNDABLE 1000. 00 to cover an inappropriate shipping cage and insurance, which I did. Long story short. 2 hours after quoted delivery time, still no sight of her, and of course all airport contacts were closed. Both seller and shipper were not replying to any communication. I immediately contacted Venmo to stop payment, as well as my bank to dishonor payment. DO NOT USE THIS SELLER! I have recorded conversations and text proof that will be used in reporting all those involved in the collection of monies. BUYER BEWARE!
