Oh and for those who dont know the story about Fargo:

This was the bird that i was told i probably should NOT choose by the breeders, because he wasnt friendly and did not like people and had the nickname - feral...

Goes to show how much a bird can change

FANTASTIC clips, Tab!!! I'm sitting here with a VERY wide grin on my face. Fargo is fantastic, WHAT a snuggle bunny, and WHAT a clever, sweet boy!!! Feral? HA! Send those clips to the breeder and show 'em just how "feral" he is now. ;)

Loved each and every last one of those videos. I certainly can never get enough of Fargo. :D

You 2 are inspirational!!

You know Tab, I want to commend you on sharing your special bond with Fargo.I think sometimes as you said theirs alot of fear of these species. Do to the size of their beak . Until you can experience one [Im always saying If you could only have one bird] I would have a Macaw :) Hard for people to understand [with you ,your able to send a message ] How great these birds can be !!!:) Keep it up :)

Fargo is ...... hard to choose words to describe him "UNBELIEVABLE"

You and Fargo have the most incredible human/bird connection I have ever witnessed in my entire life (and I am not a youngster either)

So much for the breeder saying - he wasnt friendly and did not like people and had the nickname - feral... HOW FARGO PROVED HIM WRONG 100%

You and Fargo an inspiration to so many

Thanks for the videos I watched them at work enjoyed them all, will share them with Mishka later.

You are too funny! It's Tab, I swear, I can vouch that it's her. Fargo just preened her hair quite thoroughly. LOL.

I can never say it enough, I love watching you and Fargo interact! If I can come close to having a relationship with my new GW like you do with Fargo, I would be excited! Savannah is older, but I know that if we build a great relationship we have many fun years ahead!

HAHAHAHA.. Yes my hair is wild when i dont do anything with it, and Fargo had been jumping around in it!:09:

Plus i dont really like the camera, so i hide under my hair ;)

Thank you all for your really kind words!:eek:

I think that Fargo's trust needed to be earned by someone special, and when he found that someone he has SO much love to give!:rolleyes:

I am just lucky he chose me, although honestly i dont think Fargo 'chose' me when we were at the breeders, he just flew away :p

Thanks again, glad you all like them.
When you have that bond with a bird theres nothing better in the world!

and there is NOTHING scary about their beaks!
Fargo holds my fingers in his beak like a dummy!

and like in the first video he will just hold on with his beak, but he is incredibly gentle about it:)
