LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELFHi! My name is Red! I was
born on July 25th in Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil. When I was a baby, I wasn’t very handsome. It took me 6 months to grow all of my
feathers and almost 2 years for my beautiful colors to
show.

DAILY ROUTINESIn the morning I always eat a good breakfast: fruits and seeds. ( sometimes even a Cupuaçu milkshake!)

I LIKE...
I like to ride my bicycle everywhere: to school, to the store, to my friend’s house.
On my 7th birthday, my parents bought me a new
bicycle. It was my favourite color...RED!

TRAVEL
I really love living in the rainforest, but
whenever I can, I go on holiday to the
BEACH!!
Here is a selfie!

CAREER… in the beginning I used to be a model. Everyone told me, “I was a natural!”

MODELING I am sure you have seen my picture everywhere: on mugs, necklaces, keychains, postcards, etc.

MOVIESI went to a big movie set for a film called Rio!!!!
No….that is not me. That is my brother, Felipe. He is a great actor!

CAREER...a wise choiceI have always been very active and I
love sports, especially football. I decided that I wanted to be a
sports journalist. So I immediately enrolled at
Universidade Federal Do Amazonas in Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil.

Arena da AmazôniaOnly 15 minutes away from UFAM, you can watch a World Cup match at the Arena da Amazonia. The stadium is located at the heart of the Amazon rainforest. It looks like a straw basket, a product the region is famous for.
This stadium is very “GREEN” and plays its part in helping to preserve the diversity of the Amazonian rainforest. For example, rainwater will be collected and used in toilets or to water the pitch, while the region’s abundant supply of sunshine will be harnessed to generate clean and renewable energy. Plant screens will also be created to keep energy costs down and, above all, to control temperatures inside the stadiums.

HARD AT WORKI enjoy working hard and travelling, so reporting events from the FIFA World Cup 2014 matches was a dream job. I have visited all of the stadiums and sent postcards, pictures, posters and information from
each city to my 2nd Grade friends. I hope you have learned as much as I have.
