To save everyone else a few hours:

The Chocobo event will award:
1st Win, Tender Bouquet.
2nd win, Athena Orb.
3rd win, FES Key.

Subsequent daily wins, assuming the other two items are already in your inventory, gets you the FES Key.

So: Dbox the Bouquet, use Login Points for the Orb, get the Key on your first win (which can take a number of attempts).

Otherwise, you’ll be sitting there for an hour in frustration trying to be this poor little guy’s wing man.

Edit: Oh also! For Step 1, the gift picking part, the gifts are found in the pattern of the first letter of the element day. So Firesday = F Pattern, Lightsday = L pattern, etc.

Anyone won the chocobo love thing yet? Tried 15 times today and even when i reached the female, she didnt like him so never won.

My observation is that the gifts dug up in Part 1 have different point values (some might even be negative value).

Speculatively:

Gysahl Greens +1
Azouph Greens +2
Sharug Greens +3
Zegham Carrot +10 (the rarest)

So by the time you get to Part 3, if the point thershold is not met (let’s assume 5 points), the male will be rejected, assuming you did the pathfinding correctly OR if neither male reaches the female, if the threshold is exceeded, she will choose your Chocobo.

The gifts will be found in the pattern of the first letter of the day, but their placement in the pattern appears randomized. So that at least guarantees getting three gifts out of three dig attempts.

Edit: With respect to the pathfinding, (1) there’s two-or-three route patterns only (if I’m remembering correctly), (2) the random choice of which row the female chooses, (3) and a 50/50 chance of where the opponent male will start, after you’ve chosen. Or letting the opponent choose first and deciding after. I haven’t bothered to map out an optimal strategy for that, but under each scenario there should be an optimal choice that guarantees a win state.

I have only done it a handful of times, but it also seems that when I do get 3 gifts (maybe I have gotten lucky with higher ranked gifts), then IF she doesn't match with the other chocobo, she will change her mind and still choose mine. So I have noticed that if either my chocobo's path leads to her or neither chocobos' paths lead to her, I win. Again, maybe that is based on a high gift rating???

I would love to hear the results of others. Thanks!
