Sometimes I really hate people...

[Tiki]

Well...on Kijiji, some guy posted about an African Grey, and I asked him if he needed help with re-homing, and he said he didn't. He could have just left it at that but no, for some reason no one understands he keeps e-mailing me and insulting me. I honestly don't know whta this guy's problem is. (this isn't the same guy who wanted to buy the greys). I haven't replied to him or anything, I just delete his e-mails. :rolleyes:

Sometimes people can be really stupid. ;)

On a brighter note, I may have found the Alexandrine Parakeet a home. :)

If this guy e-mails me one more time and I happen to be in a bad mood, he'll be sorry. :p

[xxxSpikexxx]

I would report him. Some people are just horrible :(

[Tiki]

Yes, if he keeps doing it and getting more annoying, I might.

Here is what he said (I don't know what he means by the guy who wanted the Alexandrine female, there was a woman who wanted it, and some guy who wanted " any parrot")

Ya sure for FREE, buddy I'm the guy who wanted to buy the Alex female for 100.00. Thanks but I'll sell my own birds.


jerk :rolleyes:

I really can't get my mind round some people. I mean, you were doing him a favour! I would report him now, it doesn't matter whether he sends you more emails, he's already insulted you for no reason - some people are just asking for trouble.

[Aly]

Sorry to hear..I guess there's alot of psychos out there..

[Tiki]

Thanks, how would I do that? Through Kijiji?

[xxxSpikexxx]

just hit contact Kijiji and select problems with other users

[Tiki]

Thanks, but would I qualify? I mean, I e-mailed him first..hmmm...:confused:

[Mystry Mew]

Well, he was the one who got rude when you were just trying to be nice.

[Boomberry]

I would just ignore him - isnt worth the effort.

[Laura]

I agree most times if you just ignore them, they will go away a lot of stupid people are just looking to get a response.

[Tiki]

Yes, I was just going to ignore him.

Another person e-mailed me saying "this isn't birds for adoption, this is birds for sale, FRAUD"

Makes me wonder if it's the same person :rolleyes:

[Aly]

With adoption there's always a fee but it should never be the market cost of the bird..What prices are you charging?

[Laura]

I don't mean to offend anyone but I was just looking at the site, 200 for a two year old cockatiel unsure of gender or colour thats a biter and needs lots of work seems awfully expensive I know the cage is included but it still seems a bit pricey.

[Tiki]

They aren't my prices, they are the ones of the owner. :)


Yes I agree Laura, the owner even thought so too, but her friend, the one who gave up the cockatiel, wants $200. :rolleyes:

[Laura]

Yes I agree Laura, the owner even thought so too, but her friend, the one who gave up the cockatiel, wants $200. :rolleyes:

good luck to the one who gave it up getting anyone to pay that :blink:

[Tiki]

I don't even know why she gets to choose the amount...its no longer hers, she gave it up!

[xxxSpikexxx]

I thought that you take the birds in and the original owners don't get any money when the birds are rehomed and the adoption fees help to feed the birds ect :confused:

[Tiki]

No the birds stay with the owners, I just find them homes, the owner gets the money.


I might actually start to get foster volunteers too, and maybe I'll contact my humane society and ask if they can send all their birds to me for me to adopt out, its what they do at the Toronto Humane Society.

[Laura]

Ok I am confused...lol if she is keeping the bird and she has the say in the asking price and she gets the money what does she need you for? and I don't mean that in any way bad against you, is it just so you can find someone to take him? you will have a hard time finding anyone at those prices.

[Tiki]

She isn't keeping it, lol its rather confusing. Ok, she when on a trip, gave it to her friend to look after, when she gets back decides she no longer wants it, and the friend can't keep it, so the now-owner needs to find it a home, so I advertise it on my site and deal with all the forms and such. She wanted it to be $100, so I had it at $100, then the previous owner saw it, got mad because she wants $200, and then I had to put $200. Why the previous owner gets say in the price it beyond me :eek:

[Aly]

I know you're trying to help but really you're getting the very short end of the stick. If it's an adoption there should not be a sale price only an adoption fee which should be charged by you, the foster home. The adoption fee should be collected to compensate the food and care, plus your time. If they want to sell the bird they need to BUY an ad on their own and do it that way not use your time and website for their profit. I know you have good intentions but you're losing out. That's why that guy was so confused.

[Laura]

I agree with Aly to me thats a sale??? I don't see how that is fostering or adoption?
I can see why maybe he was confused I am confused as well...lol but that doesn't excuse him for being rude

[xxxSpikexxx]

I think you are getting the short straw. Do you get any compensation for your time ect?
