I am actually oddly fascinated by the fact that he grew up with the language of the birds and learned how to understand and communicate using it.

Sad though it was to have been at the expense of a normal childhood, it's still something very interesting! And I wonder if it's only the language (vocal and body) that he picked up from the birds. How about eating habits, or the way he walks?

And I think it would be very cool if he never forgot how to do this. That when he grows up after living a life with human interaction et al, he still retains his ability to communicate with birds. I wouldn't mind being able to do that..

Although that it is unusual that his mother never spoke to him at all. Pet owners talk to their pets like they can understand what they're saying! And here she is, not saying a word at all? .. Strange.

But then again, raising your son as a pet bird is already lightyears beyond strange.
