ASP ref: ASP870

Name: Rio

Species: Blue and Gold Macaw

Description:

Rio sounds like quite the character! From your description, he’s clearly a spirited, intelligent parrot with a strong personality and some very specific preferences. Let me highlight what stands out about him:

🦜 Personality & Behavior
Independent & loud: He likes to make his presence known and thrives on attention.

Territorial about his cage: Best not to ask him to step up inside—it’s his safe zone.

Prefers being the sole bird: He enjoys having his own space without competition.

Curious explorer: He roams freely, climbs upstairs, and visits other rooms (especially if nuts are involved).

Playful communicator: Whistles, waves, and says phrases like hello, peek-a-boo, and bye.

🍎 Diet & Food Habits
Loves: Pellets (Hari Tropican sticks), chopped fruits, nuts, and veggies.

Okay with: Seeds (Johnston & Jeff Lean and Fit Parrot food), but only occasionally.

Enjoys sharing meals: Wants to join family meals and nibble on bread or corn.

🏠 Lifestyle & Care
Freedom-loving: Dislikes being locked in his cage, prefers roaming.

Furniture destroyer: Needs supervision or bird-safe areas to prevent damage.

Flight-capable: He knows how to fly, but climbing down is tricky for him.

Potential best friend: With patience and attention, he bonds deeply.

Rio really comes across as a bird who wants to be part
