“One time... I was at the top of the volcano at night, and I saw lights far, far away. I wonder if there are other bird families out there?”
— Leo
Leo is a boy who initially lives on Ginger Island. His parents were lost at sea, and he considers the parrots who inhabit the island to be his family. Initially, he is too shy to speak to the player, until the player "makes friends" with the parrots of the island by giving them Golden Walnuts. This is done by giving 10 Golden Walnuts to the first parrot outside by the turtle.
When the player reaches six hearts of friendship with Leo, he moves to the mainland of Stardew Valley, where he becomes friends with Linus, Jas, and Vincent.
You can give Leo up to two gifts per week (plus one on
his
birthday), which will raise or lower
his
friendship with you. Gifts on
his
birthday ( 26 Summer) will have 8× effect and show a unique dialogue. For loved or liked gifts, Leo will say
“
“A birthday gift? That's very kind of you! I love it.”
“
“You remembered my birthday! Thank you. This is great!”
What does that matter to a bird?(No effect on friendship.)
Regardless of the answer, Leo says he's aware he's not really a bird, and he tries to avoid thinking about it because it makes him feel lonely. He tries to fit in with the parrots, but knows he truly doesn't belong anywhere. He runs off before Willy enters the scene.
Three Hearts
After reaching three hearts with Leo, he sends the player a recipe in the mail.
Here's a food from my home, that me and my family enjoy. Hope you like it.

Four Hearts
Enter Island North on a sunny day between 6am and 6pm
Details
The player approaches Leo from behind. Leo squawks like a parrot and startles the player, which startles Leo in turn. Leo then apologizes and explains that he has difficulty communicating using words, then asks the player if they find him weird. Leo wonders about the differences in his life if he hadn't been washed ashore and wonders about what "normal kids" would have to say about him. Leo then asks the player if they think he could ever be a normal kid again. After the player answers, he states that he's happy he met the parrots regardless, and that he will always consider them family no matter what. Leo thanks the player for talking to him and says that the player may be a part of his family too, someday. He then teaches the player how to say "let's play" in parrot-talk.
Note that none of the dialogue options in this cutscene affect friendship with Leo.
Six Hearts
Enter Island South on a sunny day between 6am and 6pm
Details
Linus invites Leo to move to the mainland of Stardew Valley. Willy says that there are other children there, and Leo can visit Ginger Island anytime he wants to. Willy asks the player what they think. (Choices have no effect on friendship).
Leo decides to move to Stardew Valley. That night, parrots build him a treehouse in the tree to the left of Linus' tent.
Seven Hearts
After reaching seven hearts with Leo, he sends the player a recipe in the mail.
Here's a food from my home, that me and my family enjoy. Hope you like it.

Nine Hearts
Enter the Mountain on a non-rainy day between 6am and 7pm
Details
Leo is shown adjusting well to life in Stardew Valley. He is seen cooking a bean hotpot with Linus on the campfire. In the next scene, he is at school at the library/museum with Penny, Vincent and Jas answering a question correctly. Another scene shows him fishing with Willy. The scene after has him watching Jas from the bushes in the playground, and running away when she notices. He arrives home at the treehouse and talks to his parrot friend about how good his day was, but he still misses Ginger Island.
