• In the past two days I have gotten emails asking about being requested to provide credit card info in order to register and also to make a post in the classifieds forums.

The only time any request for payment is made is if you choose to opt-in for a higher membership level, and that is done SOLELY through PayPal.

My guess is that this is coming through Google Adsense, but when I can get someone to send me a screen shot of this sort of request, I will know more.

Hello, I have just found out that I may have an australian turquoise parrot (grass parakeet) which is considered a threatened bird. A friend gave it to me as it was found outdoors as a hatchling and dropped off at the vet where she worked. I have had it about 2 years but based on pics and discussions from another bird forum I believe it is this threatened species. Does anyone know or recommend who I can get in touch with about positively identifying it and possibly getting it into a breeding program or something? I have not heard back from the local avian vet I contacted. Thanks. email me at [email protected]
 
best bet on identifying your bird to email a photo to a a zoo or parrot breeder :)
thats what i would do :)
 
I actually used to raise scarlet chested parakeets which are a very close relative to the turquoisines. I'm familiar with them, so if you wanted to post a picture here I'd be able to help you out. Last I heard both the scarlets and the turquoisines were pretty hard to find in the US now, and there are legal restrictions on owning them in some states. I'll post the info if I can find it sometime soon.
