Fargo- Blue and Gold Macaw
While Fargo was wet after his shower, he lifted his wings, so i thought it was a perfect opportunity to teach him the 'wings' trick.. When i blew on his chest, he would lift them up, so i said stick em up, and put my fingers in a gun shape, and when he did it, he got a treat..
We will just have to keep practicing after a shower until he does it when hes not wet, hopefully he will catch on soon ;)

here are 3 videos, very difficult to record and do tricks at the same time :eek: haha

So if you want to teach your bird this trick, its easy when they are wet, i have tried just lifting his wings but he hasnt caught on with that haha :p

and! on a side note, just before his shower he was sitting next to me and i was helping him preen his pin feathers, he turned his head and looked at me and said ' you a good boy?' :D :D :D next mission is to get it on camera hehe

yay for my little bird genius ;)
 
Yay for Fargo! Clever boy!

hehe thank you :D :D
im so surprised how quickly he learns things, and he was a cuddle bug today!! he was lying upside down in my arms and was cuddling him and giving him kisses :p
it does sound likes he is saying mumma though right? im not going crazy? hahaha
 
Seems like when I try to teach Mango new words he ignores me completely, but if I say something I dont want repeated even once he catches on and goes with it. I once turned to him and said "Dave's in trouble" (Dave being my partner) and its his new favorite thing. Yet he straight up refuses to say "hello"!
 
Fargo is such a clever boy. Well done to you Tab on training him so well.
 
He is doing great! How old is he? I can't remember. I am going to have to get busy with Moses!
