Fargo- Blue and Gold Macaw
Hello All :)

I finally got around to taking a video of all of Fargo's tricks in one session, usually i have to just crop because he doesn't do each one perfect every time..
this was our best take so far :p would be a lot easier if i had a camera man hahaha but instead i held the video, and then had to place it down at the end to do roll over.. so i was giving signals and treats with one hand haha :rolleyes: and you can see my messy room, i always clean it in the afternoon, so its messy this morning ;)

The cheeky boy also didn't do his slide properly haha he climbed to the side, but it was too hard to do it all again, usually he does his slide well!!! He actually flies to the floor and plays on the slide even when we aren't training :09:

But we have: Come, Turn around, wave, stick em up, shake, tunnel, slide, and roll over
didn't do hi 5 this video :p

The shake he didnt want to let go of my finger for some reason :09:

Roll over is still getting there, its the longest trick to learn, he just needs help with that first part of actually getting on his side, i usually dont cradle his body to help, but instead he will hold up his foot and i help him over :D

He also looks pretty messy because he decided to have great fun with his breakfast and get it all over his beak and face :p

I cant wait until christmas, can finally get some props! I know i will have basketball, bowling, and roller skates ;) I should probably start teaching him to fetch!

So without further ado ! the video:

Salsa attacks my phone too sometimes. He actually bit it the other day :11:

My guess is that he just likes the way it feels on his facial skin. I've not met a Macaw yet who doesn't like textures, and many of them like their facial skin rubbed :)

hahaha i wonder if you can get birdy bibs ;) he definitely needs one! he doesn't toss his food around his cage, but he gets it on his wings as well :eek:

And today he fell asleep on my lap for the first time!!! :rolleyes: usually he sleeps and preens while sitting on my arm, but since yesterday he has starting climbing down to my lap and playing, and this morning he fell asleep for an hour or 2 :eek:

He also does the tricks for other people as well :) i experimented with my mum and my sister/friend.. and if they ask him to do something, he does!!
