Emelio is a 5-year-old Alexandrine Parakeet.

The Alexandrine is a larger cousin of the Indian Ringneck, and the first thing you'll notice is that big beak. These guys are big chewers, so make sure you budget for a lot of wooden toys. Emilio is friendly, talks, steps up when asked, but can be a little challenging to get out of his cage because he's shy with new people. He has had a diet of seed and pellets as well as fresh veggies and fruit.

Emilio was originally a Tropic Zone baby. He says things like Hey Baby, Step Up, Come Here, and Achoo!
