Family members: It's going to be my grandparents. They have had birds before. It's just that they are around 60 years old. I'm worried that the bird is going to scream to the point where they are going to get fed up and let him free outside. If that doesn't happen, theres something else. The bird will attack anyone he doesn't know. What if Rio won't let him change his food and water bowls? They require their hands to go in his cage. I'm worried they'll give up, and he'll starve to death.
I cannot imagine that adequate adults would allow any of this two possibilities. Are you in a good relations with them? Do they love you? I doubt they would let him free, or if there is a problem to change food/water, hopefully they would let you know very soon.
There are cages where you insert food/water bowl thru the slot. I understand you don't want to get another cage but maybe your grandparents have a spare cage of this kind?
I like a suggestion to take the bird there a few days before the due date and get acquainted with new surroundings / people
