For our grandparents, Donald Duck's big-screen exploits were a carefree pleasure. Nowadays it seems, the wacky escapades of animated creatures must be predicated on an eco-sermon. Animals United brought our children up to speed on biodiversity. Now, Rio confronts that topic's cutting edge: extinction. The hero, Blu, and the heroine, Jewel, are the last surviving specimens of the Blue Macaw. Unless they can mate successfully, their species will die out.
TigerStar's Past chapter one
The Spix's macaw achieved onscreen fame in 20th Century Fox's "Rio" as a charming parrot named Blu who travels thousands of miles in an attempt to save his species. Deforestation is a leading cause of the Spix's macaw's disappearance from its natural habitat, according to the report. In the movie, Blu was raised in captivity and travels from Minnesota to Brazil with his owner to repopulate his species with the last wild female of their kind, Jewel. But the movie was 11 years too late, the study found, as Jewel likely would've died in That doesn't mean all hope is lost for birds like Blu. The report says that although the species is extinct in the wild, 60 to 80 Spix's macaws still live in captivity. News National. Actions Facebook Tweet Email.
Rio 2: Blu and Jewels first sex Aug 26, 16 min read. By PekoSunConure Watch. It even surprised me that I didn't even bother to sugarcoat my revelation. But then again, I shouldn't be complaining, given the fact that she accepted my sincere admission. Looks like we're just steps away from going steady. The one thing that I was thinking about the most was what Jewel and I were going to do for our day together. However, that doesn't mean that we can't have a simple conversation. Love isn't always just staring at each other with puppy-dog eyes or sucking face for an eternity's time. It's more than that.
