I agree with Jill, you need to have Mikey out with the family so he will know that he is part of the family. Perhaps it would help if others helped with his feeding and treat giving so that he doesn't just focus on you as the care provider. I live alone so my fids know and trust me. However, my grey seems to enjoy being with my 10 year old grandson. Ana Grey will fly to him and likes to "hang" with Gabriel. Our greys pick who they like and enjoy being with so give Mikey a chance to know everyone.
