Fargo- Blue and Gold Macaw
Hello all,

Fargo has recently got into some pretty weird yet funny habits lately, so i thought i would share, and see what your birds do :p

His funniest one is playing dead when he thinks he is in trouble, he will be sitting on his perch/ladder/rope near the window, and he will start chewing window or wood, and so i say 'Fargo!' and as I am getting up to go get him, he just drops upside down, and plays dead, like its a defence mechanism or something LOL :09:

His other one, is he LOVES eating his food kebab, on the OTHER side of his cage :20: He will eat it when he's locked in his cage, but if the doors are open, he will climb to the other side and eat it through the bars, and i have no idea why!!
You cant really see it well in this picture but:

RIP Constantine: Jenday Conure
When I leave my room, Con flys onto the curtains over the door and climbs down then starts tapping on the glass if I close the sliding door. Or is she's on my shoulder, she'll kiss me and I'll kiss her back then it turns into a game to see who can give the sneakiest kisses.

Oliver is deadly terrified of yellow, except he only eats hes yellow pellets!!! And he will only eat food cubed, not sliced or left plain. I have to cube blueberries for goodness sakes! :eek: Very, very, picky. But hey, at least he's eating his veggies and fruit! :p

Bella and Zora sleep one on top of the other. :eek: They've been doing this since I've got them, Bella on the bottom, squashed, and Zora leaning on top of her. :confused: Crazy girlies. :D

Birds sure to have strange wonderful habits

After eating anything, Mishka sips some water

THEN chews the chain, and sucks it like a dummy

Tiki my red bellied loves to give kisses. She will be on your shoulder give you a big kiss on the lips and then give a wolf whistle. then she will reach further down while still on your shoulder with her belly against you ,turn her head to the top to kiss right under your lower lip. It is amazing that they can do a 180 like that. She is such a snuggle bunny:)

cooper has some weird habit too.

when he wants attention he climb up on the wall of his cage and taps with his beak until we take him out

he hangs upside down next to his fruit skewer to eat.

when im on the computer next to his cage and stop talking to him he hangs upsidedown in the middle of his caege by one food and skwaks.

he is obsessed with chewing on finger nails. i havent clipped my nails in 2 weeks because of him!( just kiddingXD but he really doesn take [eices of your nail out lol)
