I do hope you get him!!

I may be rescuing this little guy from Craigslist!
I know some of you saw this on the "Craigslist-I want that bird" thread, but I thought I'd share this anyway. So, I was moseying about craigslist as I normally do, and saw this little guy:
http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac...677881612.html
His cage looked absolutely miserable, and I felt so bad for him. I assumed that there was nothing I could do, as my parents only allow for very thoroughly planned animal adventures. But, I talked to my mom about him, and since she has been quite taken by little Oscar, she felt very sorry for this scruffy cutie on the listing.
We're going to get him on Sunday, (if this person EVER responds back to my most recent text. urgh I hate it when people do that!) and though he'll be in that sucky cage until his new one gets here, at least he'll get some proper perches, toys food, cuddles, and whatnot. 30 days is fine for quarantine, correct?
Does he (the person says it's a he, but it's 4 months old and hasn't been DNA'd, so who knows) look like he's split to pied and WF to you? That's what I was thinking.
So excited and hopeful!

OMG I hope you got the poor little soul that cage is just awful

Got everything crossed for you!
You will need to quarantine for at least 30 days, and during that time, take him to an avian vet to have a “new bird check up” and have tests done to make sure he isn’t carrying any diseases, viruses and infections that could be transmitted.

I know, guys, I really want to help him out, too. AND he's so cute... But this guy is driving me nuts! I'm trying to maintain the balance between pestering him a little so maybe he'll respond (he responded to my first 4 texts yesterday and then just fell off of the face of the earth!), but at the same time not seeming like I'm a maniac that is going to show up with a knife. I'm tempted to text him with my mom's phone and see if he responds then haha. Sometimes Craigslist drives me bonkers. I mean, this doesn't make sense. I'm giving you money for a bird that you apparently keep like an ornament in your living room. Why wouldn't you respond?
At least you tried
You did your part from trying to make him live with you rather than living in that small cage

That is a shame, and quite disappointing.

Hopefully he has gone to a good home, and will be given a much more suitable cage.

Aaawww
He's a cutie too. That cage is horrible.
I hope the little fellow is ok.
You did you best. Great effort.
