It really is ffiscool. I asked him to step up later on in the day and he just nibble my finger but that's nice too. Most of the time he's quite gentle with his nibbles.

Nibble, nibble. “Not today, sorry”. Nibble, nibble.

Dexter is moulting and he was sitting with me yesterday and preening his tail. I looked up when I got poked in the face and Dexter was looking at me with his tail feather in his mouth as if he was handing it to me. I'm sure he was just trying to drop it but it made me smile to think he was handing it to me. Today he threw one of his wing feathers at me He still isn't keen on stepping on to my finger but within a couple of minutes of him jumping on to a taxi stick he's usually on my hand. He just doesn't trust me if I offer him my hand first off. He likes talking to my hand when he's on top of the cage and he'll jump on my hand so he can talk to my finger if I wiggle it for him. So he's definitely made progress around hands.

He sounds a bit like my Buddy. If I hold my finger up to Buddy, he'll run away. If I hold my arm to him and say, "Buddy, come", he'll jump on my arm and walk down to my thumb nail to play with it.

Dexter is so funny. He likes his routines. In the morning he comes to sit with me for a chat and then he'll fly to the top of the cage and he likes me to put my hand on top of the cage so he can chat to my finger nail. Then he likes me to twirl him round on a perch that I hold for him. This gets repeated on quite a few occasions during the day. On Friday he kept calling out for someone or something and wouldn't settle. My mum phones most mornings but she was out that day. In case a phone call is part of his routine I called our house phone from my mobile and answered it and said hello (yes, I am really daft!). Dexter settled right down and started singing and preening. Maybe it was just a coincidence... The same thing happened today. Dexter was calling out. David was in the room with us so he wasn't calling for him. So I phoned the house phone and answered it and Dexter settled right down again

It made my mum laugh when I told her about it. He had his phone call today and he's been a contented fellow.
Sometimes he'll sit with me when I'm on the phone and very occaisionally he'll join in the conversation.

Dexter was so funny yesterday. Earlier on in the day he was sitting on my hand and he kept inching further up my arm and got as far as my elbow but I couldn't work out what he wanted. He was sitting with me later in the evening and he really seemed to want something. Then he launched himself at me and landed on my chest and hopped up on to my shoulder and started nibbling the shoulder seam and collar of my t-shirt which tickled and made me laugh. I was wearing a stripy t-shirt which I don't usually wear around him and he was very taken with the stipes. Maybe he thought I looked like a pirate and needed a little parrot on my shoulder.
