Soooooooooo...

Fargos toys came today from my safe bird store came today :D
I thought it would be another week or 2!

So exciting !
Fargo was already asleep, but i wanted to get pictures, so i woke him up, so he was not in the mood to co-operate with me :eek:

He has 2 big acrylic foraging toys, a foraging shredding toy, a foraging net thingy, foraging ball, rainstick (which he loved, just sat there with his head tilted listening to it as i tilted it :p ) and a pack of shredding sticks, plus some little bits and pieces.. and CHOCOLATE FOR ME ! ;) hahaha It is going to be so much fun re-decorating his cage tomorrow!

and a boing, but fargo doesnt like boings, so i stretch them out, and i put it across my room, he loved it immediately and was playing on it as soon as i hooked it up :D

You woke him up...classic! Have you tried making toys of your own for him yet? These days I am saving a bundle with just a drill and basic items from old toys and cardstock.

hahaha he had JUST gone to sleep, but i really wanted him to help me open it and get pictures :eek: poor boy ;)

These toys were with the money we won for the christmas competition, only had to put like 10 dollars towards it + postage,, so i just got the foraging toys which are super expensive in Australia! Saved alot of money even though the postage was expensive :)

I have started making him wood toys, which he loves destroying, but he loves foraging toys more than anything! So i cant make them :( haha

and thanks, i love when he rolls over now :D

Lucky fargo!! :D

You have a few foraging toys there I have been eyeing off :D Let us know what fargo thinks of them :D

And as usual, adorable Fargo being impressive :D I had to laugh at myself... I have become accustomed to fargo's awesomeness.... I just realised I am no longer surprised... I am convinced there is nothing fargo can't do... I probably wouldn't be surprised if he ended up with a degree in psychology and a phd in human emotional manipulation :p
Dr Fargo.

Haha well Fargo doesnt actually go to his cage until midnight :S He hops onto his sleeping perch at 6:30, and will just stay there until i put him away, so i cover up my chair and computer, put earphones in, so he is in complete darkness until i hop in bed, then he gets put away.. hahaha but then he wakes up with the sun.. at like 4 or 5am, then has another nap at 9am -.- he is such a weirdo. :p

Okay i will do 'Fargo Foraging Reviews' ;) hahaha He has the 4 draws, maze and foraging cage at the moment, and he loves each of them.. so i think he will like these new ones! :)

LOL !!!! that made my night :eek: hahaha Dr Fargo.. Thank you :eek: He surprises me with how he learns stuff, truly amazing!
Yes he would definitely have a phd in human emotional manipulation ;)

YAY! That order arrived FAST! :eek: You must have been SO surprised! AND so happy. :D

I'm sure Fargo forgave you for waking him up immediately when he saw WHAT he was woken up for. ;)

You must take pictures after you redecorate the cage - please?

And that roll-over trick is OUSTANDING....gees...my dogs won't even do that. :D

So Fargo is now stocked in new toys and Tab is now stocked in candy... what a perfect situation :p;).

Fargo's roll over trick is amazing! It's clearly effortless and SO impressive!!!

Tony, I think Tab is holding out on us. ;) I mean, GEES, she was without power for so long, and I firmly believe she's taught Fargo more than just the roll over trick.

I'm inclined to guess that Fargo can now play the guitar..and possibly even sing a tune or two. :D

I love this! I also get so excited when the new toys, perches and snacks come; it was just last week. Makes me think I need more of a life, Oh but what the heck! I think Im more excited then he is when the goodies come.


He likes to supervise and approve my every move everytime I change or clean his cage. He's like this little manager.

I love how you pulled straight the twisted perch, I always wanted to get one of those, but didn't know how Spencer would like that. It will be on the list for the next order. Love reading ur posts!:09:

I ate all the candy already ;) I liked the peanut stuff, but didnt like tootsie rolls? :p hahaha

hehehe Wendy, maybe Fargo has his own guitar now as well :54:

HAHA Cami, it is so exciting hey! I was so happy when i was talking to my friends on fb, and they were like 'whats up!?!' "FARGOS TOYS CAME!!!!!" 'Oh.... how cool' ;)

Yes Fargo doesnt like boings, but this boing was about 250cm ! So now he has a huge perch in one corner :) and Fargo puts his stamp of approval on it for all macaws :p

HA! I knew it! :D ;) And he's probably got that bicycle as well...you know which one I'm talking about. :52:

I find Tootsie Rolls to be PERFECT fillings for where you have missing teeth. :54: ...even though the colour isn't so appealing after it's been chewed all soft and stuff. :30:

lol I'm convinced my B&G Max is part dog too! We even put a doggy bowl at the bottom of his cage for his seeds (it's the only way he wouldn't just dump them everywhere!)

I know how grumpy they can get after being woken up. One time when I was visiting home I was drinking with friends. When I got home I decided that I just HAD to give Max a big kiss! That was a mistake! He was NOT happy and was still mad at me the next morning! They can hold a grudge can't they? (Nothing a few forkfuls of my breakfast couldn't solve though).

Glad Fargo forgave you though! And he looks super happy with all those toys :)
