Yay! My parents were so thrilled to receive their plushie. It was a surprise (I made them wait to video call me first), so there was a lot of excitement over the skype call. My mum definitely had a 'my grandchild' moment with the plushie, holding the Cairo up with a big smile and happy giggles. Even the old sailor, my dad, cracked a hint of a smile. He promptly adopted him and perched him on his large TV monitor (big screen for old eyes).
It's really great because they've never met Cairo in person before - only over video calls and Cairo loves listening to my mum speak their language (both of them grew up speaking/hearing Malay). So Mouse sending photos of placing the feathers inside, then my parents receiving the plushies with Cairo's feathers inside made it really special for them.
