People are funny.
Jen and I often take Socrates (the big parrot, for those not in the know) out to dinners, if we're going somewhere with outside seating. He LOVES to see people!

Comedy
We just shake our heads and grin when they walk away. It reminds us of how sometimes people completely ignore kids, even when the kids actually do have something exciting and nifty to show them, just because they're used to the kids' imput being irrelevant.

If you and Jen weren't around to give me clues as to what's going on, I don't think I'd have ever understood him.

This is true, but..
It is hard to understand him on the long things (How are you doing?) BUT, I think that "Hi" is pretty clear with him. Even the first time I ever encountered him, in the back of a bird store, I could understand his "I LOVE you!"
