The tongue..

[tab_xo]

Well this was a long time coming!!! :54:

You all know how Fargo is obsessed with sticking his tongue out...

I knew the day would finally come when something bad would come from him sticking it out all the time..


I put him in his cage so i could quickly finish a chem question without distractions (Chem exam tomorrow), and as i was closing the door, he just stuck his tongue in the opening... and yep, his poor little tongue got squished

He screamed, and i quickly opened it, and he looked angry/upset with me

I opened his beak, felt his tongue, and it was all normal, didn't do any damage, and he is acting perfectly normal now..


But seriously?!??!?

Little lesson for Fargo that maybe his tongue shouldn't be out all the time Lucky it didn't do any damage, silly boy!!!!


Most parrot owners make sure the birds feet aren't stuck, it looks like i will have to make sure his tongue is never in the way now haha

I know it's not funny, but I still laughed! Poor Fargo LOL!

 

[RavensGryf]

Aw, sorry Tab, poor Fargo! I'm glad he's okay.

You know that's a "mating" or courting behavior right? I just think he does it a lot cause he LOVES you so much My Red Bellied parrot Robin does it sometimes.

Hahaha i giggled after when i knew he was ok I felt so bad though, that tongue is so quick, it just shot out as i closed it!

He got new toys the other day so lets just pretend that makes up for it


Hahaha Julie, i think it is because he always wants a kiss? The funniest thing is when i hold his beak, and lean forward, and he puts his tongue out trying to reach mine



He is sitting on my hair now, at least there was no hard feelings

 

[GW.Joe]

maybe his tongue shouldn't be out all the time

ALL I CAN SAY IS

PS: Love Fago's "Tongue Shots" They ROCK !!!!

 

[tab_xo]

Hahahaha Joe you are encouraging his behaviour!!!!!

Look at this boy, definitely no hard feelings that i squished his tongue

This is a new little perch he got so he can sit and watch my computer...

Then just some scritches- Terrible phone, makes his feathers look funny coloured







Seriously though, that scream they make when they are in trouble is horrible Sounds like they are being murdered!

 

[tab_xo]

Oh and can anyone answer this question for me.. Fargo has ALWAYS done this..



He gets his toys (Wood blocks ect) and sits on my shoulder, and puts them in my hair whilst he chews them?


He is sitting here at the moment with 2 pieces in my hair turning the pieces into splinters

 

[labell]

Glad he is okay, he has the cutest silly tongue!!

 

[getwozzy]

Oh Fargo.... Lol poor guy!!! I couldn't help but snicker- him always sticking that tongue out! Glad his little tongue is ok [emoji13]

And he puts wood blocks in your HAIR???! and chews them???? LOL it's the latest trend in parrot and mommy fashions!!! Shhhhhh- don't tell chili [emoji51]

 

[witchbaby]

I'm glad Fargo's okay, but... this is too funny! He's like the Miley Cyrus of macs! Or maybe Gene Simmons? LOL

 

[tab_xo]

Yes Shirre!!! He has always done it.. Is it like a nesting thing? Gah i have no idea, it is so annoying So half the time he is chewing my hair as well as the wood hahaha


HAHA!!! I always said that Miley Cyrus stole Fargo's look

 

[goalerjones]

Fargo isn't gross though...

 

[tab_xo]

Hahahahahahaha ^_^

 

[noblemacaw]

Awww..poor Fargo. I am glad his tongue is alright. I read they have a bone in their tongues and they pretty much use it like a finger. Interesting. LOL

Valentino has started the Fargo stick out the tongue thing also. Just like Fargo he sticks it out to the side for show or to get it right up the nose or in the mouth. He has been doing it a LOT too. I took Valentino on a play date today with my friends that have a BTM and he was sticking out that tongue for them all wiggly sideways like. They were laughing and thought it was cute. Valentino stuck his tongue in the husbands mouth! I was kind of embarrassed but then they DO have a BTM. LOL

 

[tab_xo]

Hahahaha really!! That is adorable! :09:

All macaws around the world are going to be poking their tongues out!

Oh definitely, all parrot people know that sooner or later you are going to either get a tongue in the mouth, nose or ear :54:

 

[JerseyWendy]

Instead of giving him wooden blocks, give him some hair rollers, then he can put your hair up in curlers, HAHAHAH.

Cracked up laughing at Miley....I mean Fargo's tongue shots. What a lovebug he is!!!

How did the Chem test go?? :54:

 

[tab_xo]

HAHAHA That is a good idea!! Not sure how long the rollers would last before they were completely destroyed though


Chem test is in the morning! It is 8pm now, so at 8am i will be in an exam room getting ready to write! Confident with some stuff, others i might be very confused on.. But it is a 40% pass from 6 questions, so as long as i get 2 and a bit questions right, i should be ok!

Going out with some friends who are doing the course after as well, to celebrate it finally being over

Fingers crossed it goes well

I'm forever pushing Scarlets little toes in her cage as I'm trying to close it, and now I'm extra extra careful, a few months ago, she quickly put her foot back and I got her foot. It was fine, and also screamed though lol.no damage luckly!
Our birds are just crazy lol. Funny Fargo <3

 

[Betrisher]

Eeuuwww! Tab! Please don't post pics of Tab along with Miley Cyrus! Yick!

NB. That girl needs to eat more vegetables! Look at the colour and texture of her tongue! I bet she lives on a fatty diet of Maccas and pizza - she won't fit on that blessed wrecking ball for much longer, IMHO. I'd rather look at Fargo's tongue, which is healthy and shiny and black and gorgeous (because it's attached to such a gorgeous boy).

PS. Maybe it's a silent plea for child protective services to come and save her from a life of malnourishment? In that case, it's not charitable of me to judge her for forever poking her furry, white tongue out, is it? Maybe I should send her a nice head of broccoli instead???

Tab are you sure your not standing back with a tounge depressor in your hand telling Fargo to open your beak and say ahhh
