Contest invites kids to name adopted scarlet macaw

A scarlet macaw adopted Saturday by The River Pizza and Subs in Boulder needs a name — and owner Greg Hughes is inviting kids to provide it.

Actually, Hughes said she came from the Montana Parrot Rescue with a name — Scarlet — but that’s like naming a dog “Dog,” he said in an interview.

The naming contest runs for a week beginning Friday, May 10 and is open to kids 12 and under. The creator of the winning name will win a $25 gift card to the restaurant.
