Characters

Roberto

Roberto is a very handsome male Spix's macaw; tall, with an impressive wingspan, and large claws. He has a long tail, his plumage being lush and dark blue. The markings around his eyes and beak are a lighter blue that goes down to his chest, fading to his main color. His eyes are blue, and his beak and talons are gray. Roberto has long, sleek dark blue crest feathers on his head which fall on the back and either sides of his head. One shorter feather sticks up on his head. His crest feathers frequently block his eyes, making him shake his head around to push them back. When he is angry, frightened or shocked, the feathers will very suddenly spike out. Roberto has been described as "wild, yet very suave." It seems as though there's nothing Roberto can't do. With confidence and an impressive wing span, he sings, dances and makes all the females swoon, making Blu feel incredibly inadequate. Roberto loves to sing and dance, and flirt with females; he can even make a female faint by simply shaking his crest feathers he also flexes his pecs to charm females too. Roberto is also very artistic and creative, shown by his nest which is decorated with flowers and plants.

Intro

Crouched low in the cloth covered cage, Roberto tried not to tremble, listening out for any sign of where he was or what was about to happen to him.

After being owned by those horrid, cruel humans for years– years in which he'd been separated from his entire tribe and had no idea if any of them were okay or even alive– he'd been taken away. He thinks they might've done something really bad, but the bird wasn't sure. All he knew was that he was glad to be away from them and that he'd then been bought again by another human.

He heard a door open, and the man who bought him spoke to someone.

Roberto caught the words gift and forgiveness and felt a swell of emotions in his chest, realising that he'd been sold off and given as an apology gift. It made his feathers bristle, and he let out a low squawk.

The cage he was in (small, small– it was too small– he didn't have any room–) was set down, and it sounded like the man left.

A moment later, the cover was lifted, and Roberto stared up at you, the human that now owned him.
