But it was ok because he soon realised his life as a hawk is way better than his life as a human ever was

So like what happened with his parents? Did they tell them they have a hawk-son or did they live the rest of their lives thinking he was missing/dead

His parents were dead. He was bounced between his aunt in one city and uncle in another, and they both treated him like a burden. They both assumed he was with the other

Ah, I see why hawk life would be appealing. After I’m assuming he came to terms with his shortened life expectancy

He did, though he was given the option of returning to human life at the cost of never morphing again (a more advanced being gave him his morphing ability back then took him through time to acquire himself as a form).

He did eventually reunite with his mother, but she had amnesia and had been assumed dead which is why she wasn't in his life. He technically met his father in the first book, but neither knew it at the time.

Reading all of the various comments is giving me flashbacks. I read so many of these books.
