Mate: none

Likes: Rio de Janeiro, flying, fish

Dislikes: people (he fears them), the filling on his beak

Personality: He is endowed with a strong will and determination. He possesses a gift for being innovative and confident, and because of his strong will, sometimes appears cocky and opinionated. Sometimes he is controlling and demanding.

History: He hatched near Meeteetse, Wyoming. He got along pretty well with his parents and siblings. When the time came, he left the nest to find his own way in life. When he was about a year old, he was accidentally shot by a hunter. The bullet struck Viho in the beak, taking a large chunk out of the top. He was rushed to to a local raptor center. The team there had never seen an injury anything like Viho's, so they contacted a local dentist for his advice. Later, Viho's beak injury was filled using the same material used for making permanent crowns, and after it dried, was colored with a yellow highlighter. He was soon released back into the wild. About a year later, he was captured by poachers looking for rare birds, and flown to Rio de Janeiro (the plane stopped to refuel a few times along the way), where they tried to sell him. He was soon bought by a man who ran a smuggling ring, and was put to work as a lookout bird, trained to alert them if police approached. Every day for about three years he was in a cage near the door of the nondescript building that housed their operation. Every night he tried to escape, but couldn't due to the fact that the person who ran the ring slept in the room in which Viho's cage was kept. That didn't stop him from trying, though. Eventually after a few months, he successfully escaped from the building. He flew away and landed in a tree in the jungle just outside the city.
