Parrot eggs, revisited.

Been dealing with this guy ourselves, amusing really, just want to see how it pans out. The guy is using a UK IP address, but that doesn't really mean much these days.

Also note, some of the birds he has listed are endangered species, so the import or export of their eggs would be illegal.

Remember, parrot eggs do not survive shipping. Even for something as easily shipped as fertile chicken eggs, the breeder would not foolishly offer a 100% hatch garuntee. (PS, we've hatched chicken eggs ourselves) Parrot eggs are much more tempermental and delicate than chicken eggs.


We found the add on a UK website:

Chicago O'Hare is the best airport for me. And I'd rather pick them up there. I don't trust delivery.
