Can you please explain that this is a joke so that if someone new to the forum were to see this, they wouldn't think this is an actual ad posted here.

Wow people have some nerve. To add insult to injury they ask for the sleaziest things. Like seriously just no. Speechless .

I just saw the add as well.
And I'm pretty sure the picture they posted is not of their parrot...since I'm pretty sure I know who the picture belongs to. I could be wrong though...but I doubt a parrot that is set to be traded for a laptop would have so many toys and perches.
