Conjecture

There is a stronger statement:

If Fibonacci(n) is divisible by a prime p of the form 4k+3 then n is even.

To prove this statement it is enough to show that
(1+sqrt(5))/(1-sqrt(5)) is never a square modulo such p (which is a
straightforward exercise).

In particular, primes of the form 4k+3 never divide Fibonacci(q) for
prime q that proves your conjecture.
