“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.

Schedule

Less than 6 Hearts

Leo thinks about your words for a bit before asking if there are any kids in Pelican Town

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, wondering if there's any way to help him.

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.

“Between Linus and Miss Penny, I'm going to learn everything there is to learn! Mayor Lewis says I'm on the fast track to becoming a 'well-rounded citizen'... whatever that means.”
“Have you ever noticed all the interesting birds that live here? If you listen closely, they might tell you something.”
“Linus has been teaching me about all the wild food in the valley. There's a lot of good stuff out here! Though... I do kind of miss having golden walnuts for breakfast every morning...”
