The blue Spix’s macaw gained international popularity through the animated movie Rio that was released in 2011. This is a story about a charming macaw named Blu who travels thousands of miles to find the last living female of his species. The 2 ultimately fall in love and have children. While the movie has a happy ending, in reality, Spix’s macaws have been considered extinct since 2000.
