<P> One day , ornithologist Túlio Monteiro invites Blu and Linda to Rio de Janeiro because Blu , who is the last known male of his species , needs to mate with the last known female macaw . Linda accepts and they fly to Rio , where Blu meets a red - crested cardinal named Pedro and his yellow canary friend Nico . At Túlio 's aviary , Blu meets Jewel , a fiercely independent Spix 's macaw longing to flee back to the wilderness . The macaws are captured by Fernando , an orphaned boy , and a sulphur - crested cockatoo named Nigel , both of whom work for a group of smugglers led by Marcel , who wants to leave the country as soon as possible to secure a black market deal regarding Blu and Jewel . While Fernando has second thoughts about his actions , Nigel tells the macaws that he desires to exact revenge on `` pretty birds '' after his role on a television program had been ruined by one . However , because of Blu 's familiarity with cages , they flee into the jungle . Fernando meets Linda and Túlio and helps them find the birds , while Blu and Jewel meet Rafael , a toco toucan , who offers to take them to his friend , Luiz , to remove their leg chain . He attempts to teach Blu how to fly , before they meet up with Pedro and Nico . Meanwhile , Nigel hires a horde of thieving marmosets led by Mauro to capture Blu and Jewel . Pedro and Nico then take the two birds to a Rio - style dance party , where they perform a duet and begin to fall in love , but encounter the marmosets in the process . The birds fight them off while the five escape on a tram . Fernando takes Linda and Túlio to the smugglers ' hideout , where they discover that the birds have already been moved out . Marcel explains that he will use the Rio Carnival parade to smuggle the birds to the airport , as the other streets have been blocked off for the festivities . Meanwhile , Blu and the others meet Luiz , who is a bulldog , who releases the chain holding Blu and Jewel . After the two get into a heated argument , they decide to go their separate ways . </P>
