    Breeder Reply:
    Not true check was returned it arrived days after her expected shipping date, I've perfect comments all throughout bird breeders.com. I met these folks w baby Quaker they loved it was a gift for their grandmother and to be shipped to BOS, I called the day before shipping to state the check hasn't arrived like she had promised would arrive two days prior. I offered to ship bird after check arrived that wasn't good enough she expected me to ship baby without having received payment. They could've paid for baby the day I went out of my way for them to see and handle the baby in
