Brian Update

In the comments, Beloved Parrot had asked for a Brian update (thanks for asking!)  He's still doing really well.  I haven't been writing about him much here since he's gotten into a routine, so not much new to report.  He's so adorable, however, I may have to post pictures of him even if the accompanying text isn't too exciting.

Every morning, he wanders around the kitchen table, visiting Thomas and me as we attempt to read the paper.  He knows just where to stand to get our attention:

And then, once the camera comes out, he runs over to strike a pose:

He does seem to be sleeping more than usual, which is to be expected in such an old bird.  However, when we have him out, he's as active as ever and continues to bring us great joy.  He's started saying "Aw, such a good boy!" which is something I think he picked up from our house.  He also frequently informs us that he's "gotta go bye-bye" but we tell him that he needs to stick around for a long time.
