I have a feeling that the owner is trying something else out. A free email list with heavy advertising for the ebook.

If you look at the FAQ it talks about an ebook:

"1. I have been trying for days to get the training e-book but I keep getting error messages stating that the site is either unavailable or cannot be found. . How do I report such a site error? :"

I wonder why he's trying something else out? If he's making 1000's per week, why change it up so much?

My assumption would be that he is no longer making thousands per week. I'd imagine there's a somewhat limited market for people interested in an e-book about parrots, at least enough that at some point the market would be saturated.

I really doubt it. People are still buying parrots, so there's always new folks to sell to.

Also, he's almost certainly never made thousands per week in profit from this. Affiliates and PPC eat up profits pretty quickly.

Because the amount of attention he received made people think it was a scam?
