I hope the movie Rio doesn't result in a surge of people adopting macaws and then abandoning them :(

@11froilan I think Rio is based on the Spix macaw.

I like the color of the feathers blue is my favorite color but I wasnt expecting the little bit of yellow on the macaws mouth thats different because in the movie Rlo blu and jewel didnt have that yellow suff on its mouth oh and that yellow bird in the movie is funny and awesme plus I like his singing with that chubby bird I think I remeber the name of it I think it was pedro and nico oh and that other bird that was a toucan his name was ralfeal well I dont know how to spell his name great video

@Nero46able Perhaps you should do some research on bird poaching. It is most often the indigenous people of a country that catch the birds and smuggle them off to be sold for their own greed of money they know they can get from American and Europe. Watch the videos of birds being poached on parrotsdotorg's channel - clearly those are LOCALS trapping and making by selling those birds.

@BiTTjl Good point. Macaw size cages are generally VERY expensive. But there is a lot more to think about than expense. Birds are a HUGE amount of work. I spend at least an hour in the morning making breakfast and cleaning. I wash dishes (bird dishes) three times a day. They need out time, and individual attention. And not even mentioning when one gets sick... ugh...huge responsibility. Anyone who considers getting a bird should think about all of that first so they are prepared.
