Is this a scam...

Dear Gentle Reader,

Well, yes, pretty much anything involving parrot eggs is a scam. No real breeder ships parrot eggs. Plus it's pretty much illegal to export or import them anyway.

The phone number is from Kuwait (probably a prepaid moblie number). The IP address is Kenyan. NOTE: Stand Corrected, it is a UK phone number (have to learn to read international dialing codes) REMEMBER!!! You can buy a cell phone chip from a different country, or you can even engage a call forwarding service, and you'll never know you aren't dialing that Country!!!

In the US, hyacinth macaws go for about $8,000 dollars each. So, compare that to them only asking $40 bucks for an egg.

Please, don't forget to forward a copy of e-mails from scammers, including their full headers, to their e-mail hosting service. In other words, report them for fradulent use of the e -mail service.
