Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Wild caught Cockatoo
Someone is posting a "wild caught" cockatoo (caught in 2004) for sale in reptibid-
http://www.reptibid.com/cgi-bin/auct...tem=1104981185
Last I checked, this is highly illegal. Can anyone direct me to who to contact and report this to? And if I am correct in this? If this bird is wild caught, then he was smuggled in and now is being sold on the internet.
Thanks for anyhelp

Good eye for picking that up!!! Hope you find the right organization to make sure that wild cockatoos are not being trapped and sold, it is illegal to trap them and import them.

The sale is gone so
I didn't see if it was wild caught where. If it was in the USA as an escaped pet or something, no law was broken other than document of health in order to be shipped within the USA. If it was shipped or caught outside of the USA, yes on all kinds of legalilty. It wasn't unusual for me to drive birds from one place to another with sales reciepts when we had our pet store. Many times we picked up species from breeders opose to shipping. I DO remember some cites documents and maybe some lacey documents on some species that we had to have in order to pick-up though. But to my knowledge none of the parrot species that we had or purchased/sold had to have the documents forward at least in the oringinal form.
