Did you pay anything yet?
How did you buy the bird?
It sounds like a scam.

Ooh sounds even more like a scam now.
Tell them you will pay a courier once the bird arrives at your door and see what happens.

Also google "pet 2 world", read this in particular http://www.fraudwatchers.org/forums/showthread.php?p=65162

i said that to them this morning and they said they used to do it before but had a few problems with customers not paying so they had to stop tey said the only thing they could do for me was to pay 200 up front and 100 on delivery

My advice from this short conversation is to leave it altogether.
Chances they are scammers are much much higher than the chances of this bird even existing http://pet-birds.suite101.com/article.cfm/pet_birds_and_the_cameroon_pet_scam

All the scam signs are showing.

Sorry but at least we saved 300 euro for you to spend on a bird in a shop or from SPCA

Hi please do not buy anything from pets2world, the seller who is selling you the animal is the same person who is the supposed delivery company, IT IS A SCAM!!! they scammed me with a sob story for a maltese puppy and said I only needed to pay £200 delivery, I said no I agreed to pay half and they wanted more and more I never gave anymore but lost £100, I feel foolish as I should of listened to my gut feeling which told me it was a scam.
The website is a made up site, there not in Ireland, there in Africa please dont fall for this there scammers and need to be stopped!!!

theres no animals at all, no company, its just one man, I emailed him from another email address and he sent me the same email he sent me in the 1st place, never pay by moneygram or westurn union, you cant get your money back,when you ring the "delivery company" the same man will answer as the mobile number the seller sent you ring both numbers its the same man, I hope you havent chanced it because theres no pets its a big scam.

hi to everyone who gave me there advice i did not go with the pet courier i went all the way to wicklow 3 hour drive and handed over 950 euro and am now the proud owener of an african grey parrot and he is so lovelable he sits on the table and eats his breakfast and dinner with us and anyone that is thinking of buying one my advice is get one but be careful dont buy then from anyone off the internet no matter what i have a phone number of a breeder where we got ours and he is a lovely man and not a scamer

Hi Suzie! Check out the Animals & Pets forum to get in touch with other bird-loving pet owners such as yourself.

Huskylover

Hi, I was almost scammed by the same company. Apparently the guy was selling siberian husky puppies that came with everything. They almost cost me 400 euros. Thanks to my aunt for spotting it, she saved me from losing all that money. My next step is to see if I can find ones in the "Buy & Sell" magazine. I done that and found 3 ads in it with phone numbers. If anybody has/had the same experience, then I'm not alone. The reason as to why I was looking online was another aunt's fault. I'd like people to NOT buy anything from a guy named "Dane Null" since that name is part of their scam too. I was disappointed but it lasted for a short amount of time. Now I'm going to call the numbers. Never trust anybody online when there's animals involved.
