I have to go with this. As a test, I attempted to order a dozen
pan-dressed parakeets, and suddenly (sotch a coincidence) the secure
server was down. That, and reading some of the testimonials, suggests
that this is a joke. (Do I think it's in especially poor taste? No
comment.)

It (the overall tone) reminds me of "The Onion", actually. Most of
their more memorable stuff is in fairly poor taste, too. I was going
to launch into a description of my favorite, if in bad taste, piece
of incisive satire, but maybe I'd better not; suffice it to say it's
not easy to produce comedy with the world in the state it's in, and
even most serious stuff is in questionable taste.
