So that's where he went! 🙂 (Pic from ~ 1 week ago)
Greedy bugger's been everywhere! 😳
Nice picture
So, is the missing red dot on his neck an indicator for their sex?
Yeah as far as I know, it's the easiest difference to spot. Also the colors as a whole aren't as vibrant, even if comparing our pictures, you couldn't tell the difference. It might be that they change looks over their lives or seasons, because I remember a female (from her calls) last year as being more brownish, than this one.
