Hello again,
I have posted so many threads lately, sorry :eek: haha

Fargo learnt a new trick, well ALMOST, doing a flip around my hand..
He still needs me to flip my hand a little bit so he knows to come up :)

I taught him by holding him on my hand, then he held my beak and i guided him over and around :)

And!!! Fargo is in an australian bird magazine, which i had NO idea about...
A few months ago i sent them a picture of Fargo reading their magazine...
I found out today, they are using it in the back of their magazine on their subscription page! haha
Which is cool, but his name wasn't mentioned :(

You NEVER should apologizing for posting new threads, pictures, and/or videos of Fargo. I LOVE THEM, and I'm sure a whole lot of us agree with me :)

AWESOME new trick! He's SO very smart. He'll do anything and everything for you. WOW! What's next? A Backflip? Somersault? Double Axle? :D

Fargo WILL be the world's most famous B&G in NO time...wait and see. ;)

Give that big, beautiful bundle of feathers some extra lovin' from me tonight, please. :)

Very nice! You've added an impressive new Fargo trick, Tab :). And the bird magazine using his photo for their promotion is truly outstanding!!!

I agree with Wendy... NEVER apologize for posting about Fargo! We all love him and his talents :D. It's so amazing to see his exceptional skills emerge in response to your clever training techniques :).

One thing that also amazes me, Tab, is the fact that Fargo is able to "hold your beak" ...I had no idea that you had sprouted one of those things ;):p. It must have grown in quickly because I didn't notice it in your pics from the other day :p. Sorry, I couldn't resist :D

Being serious again... SPECTACULAR JOB, Tabitha and Fargo !!!!!

way nifty tab! and like everybody else says, don't apologize for all the post's of fargo. it's how we all know how much you truly love him. :) and it's awesome that he's got a spot in a bird magazine, such a stunner! plus on top of all that i don't even have a bird, so any videos of macaws i can watch is just inspirational to me. when i get my gw some day, oh man am i going to make some videos and take some pic's. it's building up inside, just thinking of all the things i want to teach it. and all the great times we will have together. so keep doing what you're doing, because i don't think none of us can get enough! :D

hahahaahhah :eek: I have made that mistake twice now :p i think i need to learn to proofread before i post LOL i am going to have feathers and a tail soon :09:

Thank you everyone for such nice words :D I dont know if he will be FAMOUS :eek: hahaha

Think this is trick number 15, and he is learning another at the moment! :D

Hopefully the magazine likes Fargo, as i entered the young birdkeeper competition with a story about him when i had first got him.. so fingers crossed he wins, cause we get money and i am saving up for a java tree ;) haha

Thanks wharf :D

haha thank you! He is pretty awesome :p

AND!! He FINALLY rolled over by himself!!! Only took him like 2 months to figure it out :p
We were doing training on the floor, i asked him to roll over, he raised his foot, waiting for me to help him over.. so i helped him a few times.. then i held my hand above him, and moved it over, and he didnt grab on, just rolled over by himself :D :D it was so cute, just flopped to the side then rolled! So now he has fully accomplished roll over!

Went to get it on camera and he decided he had done it enough for the day.... haha
