It was released on April 15, 2011. Rio; one of the most cheerful and vitalist films I've seen lately, with a good soundtrack that literally transports you to the city that gives it its name, Rio de Janeiro, to tell us the story of a boring blue parrot that finds love and freedom In this Brazilian paradise. The film is curdled with animals, especially birds, so it is ideal to appear in this veteran series in The Science of Life. So we will start with the classic identification and description of most of the species that appear in it, trying to get as close as possible to reality.
TOP 1:
Blu and Pearl (Cyanopsitta spixii)
These two magnificent blue specimens are the animal protagonists of the film. Blu was taken out of the jungle when he was just a chick and due to the sedentary life and full of facilities that he leads along with his owner Linda, he has not developed his ability to fly at the beginning of the film, which will be solved when he meets the beautiful Pearl, a wild female who was in the species recovery center to try to carry out a captive breeding program, since they were supposed to be the last two specimens of her species. Both belong to the species Cyanopsitta spixii, known by the common name of Spix's macaw or blue araninha. In reality, the status of these macaws does not vary much with respect to that of the film, since it is thought that there are no couples left in freedom, and that, in captivity in zoos or parks, only about 70 couples can be left.

The following type of bird makes a characteristic and easily recognized nest: a hanging nest, but apart from that other characteristics such as the tail or legs that would help in its identification are not seen in the image.

TOP 22:
Piranga rubra
Of the reddish bird that appears fluttering through the initial scene I have not found many clues that tell me what species it can be. Any suggestions? The one that is closest to the red plumage and the shy bun of feathers it presents is the migratory red tanager or Piranga rubra macho.
