Fargo's adventure home alone and my res school!

Well, actually, that sometimes works. Sally used to go "Big Bird" on my ex-wife... HATED THE WOMAN!

Wish I had that bird when we were dating... she has better instincts than I do!

I know we're having a bit of a laugh here about Fargo playing "boyfriend vetter", but I seriously would never take up with anybody that any of my pets expressed a strong aversion to. That may sound awful, that I'd prefer an animal over a person, but it's true. I don't really like people who don't like animals. Deep down, I feel that there is something really wrong with them. And, even if it's silly, I think some animals can pick up on things that we're not noticing.

In Fargo's case, it would obviously be Fargo or the highway. How long do macaws live? Tab might be in for a lifelong spinsterhood if Fargo doesn't "approve" of anybody. J/K

HAHAHAHAHA..


Actually.. I had my FRIEND from res school come over to study last week..

At first Fargo was unsure about him.. We both sat on the floor, and Fargo just sat on me looking at this guy..

and then he would run over to him.. and then run back to me


He tried to play with Fargo with his toys, and Fargo would climb on his gym, and then hang above Corey.. It was very cute..


Then I had Fargo's ball, and I rolled it, and Fargo fetched it.. and then took it to Corey Wow, obviously I wasn't good enough to play fetch with haha



But after about 10 minutes he was fine, and annoying Corey trying to climb on his head and pulling his shirt if he was ignoring him



Fargo loves anyone though, as long as they play with him he is happy haha

as long as they play with him

But what if they are not playing with him, but wanting to play kissy-face with you? You'll have to conduct some research....

Seriously, it's good that he doesn't Go Hitchcock on people and that you have trained him to be so well-adjusted. It must be very difficult for people who have a "problem" bird who carries on like a pork chop at things we find silly.

HAHAHAHAHA I will find out for you and let you know how that goes


But yes he is a good boy... I think he prefers males to females just straight up.. I think that has something to do with they aren't scared of him so they don't act nervous when they try to touch him?

He bonded to me because I was his only choice, but his breeder was a male, so during the first week Fargo got excited when he saw my dad or my brother..

and now if there is a male and female couple, he seems to work better with the male!

Also, pitch of the voice may have an impact. Women have higher pitched voices and if you're nervous it goes up from normal. High-pitched "twittering" might not be so attractive.{EDIT: and they might be wearing perfume.}

My cats (orphans, then raised in a bloke-free household) are the opposite. They fleed in terror when confronted by tradesmen. All that "growly" deep stuff didn't impress them one iota.

What a great adventure for you and for the lovely Fargo as well.

What an adorable boy. He even lost some weight while he pined away for his mommy.

Your mother did a fantastic job with him! I imagine that it's not at all easy to get him back into his cage if he doesn't want to return.
