Great pictures. I love the fact that a bird is climbing all over your family and they're going about their business as usual. Thanks for sharing.

You all may think it's odd, but before I had definately decided to adopt what would soon develop into Helio (I've been waiting for him since he was an egg, ) I had discussed it with my parents in great detail that they would have to be responsible for socializing with the new baby, eventhough we do not all live together... Our home usually consists of myself, my hubbie, and our two boys, and I wanted Helio to be more socialized than that. Also, Grammy & Papa are the only people I've ever left my boys with, and the same goes for any fuzzy or feathered fids, as well... therefore, I really wanted them to form a strong bond before I'd ever feel comfy to leave him. I also plan on at some point doing a practice run... maybe just going out to dinner or something short while he's with gram & gramps... so he understands Mommy always returns.

No kidding, huh? I can't wait... the best part of your vaca up here may just be the stories from the south about what's going on back home. Poor Liz has a long way to go... she was just climbing the headboard to escape Ringo just last week!!

Beautiful bird! Gorgeous Boys!

I don't think it is odd at all, at least not in a negative sense. Most people I encounter humor me, at best, for having a bird. They may even let him climb on their finger but they are just being polite. Your family seems to really enjoy him which must give you peace of mind when it comes time for vacation. I love the picture of the bird and your Dad watching baseball. That one is a classic.
