Dexter just looking cute:
Sometimes he just has to look at me to make me smile!
I know JUST what you mean! Something about that patented ekkie head tilt that just gets me every time! Love it!

Dexter is still feeding little Gerry.
But during this feeding, Dexter did a little tune

Gerry living the life with home delivery food service! I hope Dexter's at least getting a good tip!

Haha! I hadn't thought of it like that before! They're such a funny pair. Sometimes they're a bit boisterous, and other times very tender with one another. Maybe it's like a romantic takeaway meal

Dexter has been squawking less over the past few days.
This either means that he's learning that it doesn't get him anywhere or he's not feeling well. He is molting at the moment, so maybe he's just feeling sorry for himself...
Going to keep a close eye!

I'm hoping it's more the former than the latter. How is his activity level? And his poop? Anything unusual other than the reduced squawking?

Everything else seems normal. So I'm looking out for anything else. Poops seem fine. Eating and drinking fine. As active / lazy as usual (depending on time of day). Definitely watching for any other subtle oddities...
