but it still kinda warm in here, At what point do we start Introducing Rio

You should probably take him out of the box for a while. Also spray him lightly with luke worm water. Birds can get heat stroke. The panting is one sign of it. How old is he? Maybe a few drops of water from an eye dropper..or wet the food a little more.

Gave the Baby a slight misting with lukewarm water, he sure did like it,
Seemed to be just the trick!
