Just thought i would share these cool pics of Fargo flying the other day! and yes i was just in my pajamas, i didn't think the shots would look so cool hahahaha








and then just a pic of him sleeping whilst holding my hand in his mouth like a dummy <3




and listening to his heart beat with the stethoscope, he is a good little patient.. Was a bit unsure at first, but then he was good boy!






Then i try and study Biochemistry, and Fargo climbs over...

Sits on my arm..


Plays with my pen... Come on mum, stop studying!


Ok fine you win!!!! hahah


Oh and one from outside!


Hope you enjoyed!

I enjoyed those very much. Recalled birds are amazing aren't they?!

Except for that whole, set them down, they fly back to you, set them back down, they fly back to you, set them back down... :D

Nice high speed camera shots!

Thank you, Tab!!! I needed a big smile this morning and Photos of Fargo enjoying quality time with his lovely mum really did the trick.

Gorgeous pics, T. J! Especially the multi-shot flight sequence! Sweet!

And Fargo's plumage practically glows! My only complaint is that you did your usual Ghost Ninja bit. Show your face, woman! Lol!

Hahaha Fargo is getting better with his flight recall, when he first started flying he would come to me as soon as i put him down.. But now he only waits until i call him!

And he knows to fly back to his perch, so at least i don't have to do much activity :54: hahaha ;)

Haha i don't get many pictures when we go outside, but his feathers always look so pretty out in the sun!

After i give him a bath, and then he sits outside, his feathers go SUPER soft.. It's like the warm sun gives them extra softness :p



We are both awake and had breaky now, and he is hanging above my like an acrobat! I will give him a big cuddle from you now! :rolleyes:

Thank you haha :)

It is much faster than ours.. It is very cute though..

I love listening to heart beats, it is kind of hypnotic..

But Fargo's little heart pumps much quicker :09:


Now the nerd will come out in me :22:

Did you guys know that birds are one of the few animals with a nucleus in their red blood cells :20: Very cool


AND this week we have been learning about the respiratory system..

Birds lungs are one of the most efficient !

"Birds have a specialized system in which the lungs are non-elastic; air sacs attached to lungs act as bellows to keep air continually flowing across respiratory exchange surface in one direction regardless of whether the bird is inhaling or exhaling

There is no "dead space" in bird lungs. Bird lungs do not have alveoli. "


That is sooo awesome :eek:

Hehe! :p You know the flights look like they would take a while, but he is so fast it is scary.. and the force when he lands is awesome! :09:


No he hasn't eaten any med tools haha ! They are all locked away in the draw and the stethoscope is in it's box! :D
