An innovative 2022 Customer has found a solution to help the Rio's get into the trees. A simple playground near feed, water and trees can help alleviate losses during the first few days. Not all customers experience trouble getting their Rios into the trees but this might be good insurance if you put one of these up before they arrive.

This customer put up a loafing barn, the Rio's love it and they don't mind sharing.
Rio's are ofter found in the Rafters of abandoned barns, that is why some call a group of Rio's a Rafter.
The goal is for your Rios to be comfortable flying in and out of trees.
Well trimmed trees with no understory makes it easier for them to navigate their large bodies while they are learning to fly long distances. They love to be on the edge of a clearing but no matter how much we plan they ultimately choose their favorite spots, often changing by the season.
We will never tire of seeing them foraging and doing what they do best, eating bigs and critters. We would love to help you see this beautiful site on your Farm or Ranch. Contact me today so we can make a plan. Cindy 512-808-8533

Things to consider when placing your Rio's.
Many of our customers have successfully established Rio's for chemical free pest control on their farms or ranches without clearing and planting but this is good information and may add to your success.
