A blue bird flies through the skies and dives, going over the Copacabana beach, then he turns around. He snatches a berry from a nearby tree. It will take a lot of flying to get back to his family and his nest. When he gets back to the nest, he heard his wife scream excitedly, he went inside the nest to see what was going on. "I brought you berries". He said. The female Blue macaw said "our egg is about to hatch! I am so excited!" the mother said. "I didn't know that our egg was hatching! Sorry, I should have stayed in the nest instead of going to look for food." Carlos said. "It's okay I understand." Perla said.
An egg was hatching, this would be Blu's first day of his life, his parents and siblings were watching next to the hatching egg. "I hope I have a brother! I just really want someone less annoying, brothers are better than sisters!" Joseph said. "No, sisters are better, they are calmer, nicer, and prettier." Sapphire said. "Dad are dark feathers always come out as a boy?" Joseph asked. "No, my grandfather had light feathers." he said. "I really think it's a boy." Joseph said.
All of a sudden...crack! A sleepy looking dark blue small bird with three small head feathers came out of the egg. "Yay! It's a boy!" Joseph said. "I really wish it was a girl!" Sapphire complained. Then she yawned in boredom. Then she got angry. "I wish I had a sister, I am the only sister of the flock!" Sapphire said. "It happens, it is life and nature." Perla said. "Ha ha! Someone has anger issues!" Joseph said. Sapphire got mad and then a tear went out of her eye because her teenage brother was so demanding.
"Who should we name him?" Carlos asked, the father. "I think Storm Fire" said Sapphire, Blu's sister. "No Thomas" Argued Joseph, his brother."Storm fire!""Thomas!""Storm fire!" "Thomas!" They kept arguing for a few minutes. The parents eventually got annoyed and came up with a name. "How about Tyler?" "After my great grandfather?" said Perla, Blu's mother. "Sure." They both said. They thought it wasn't the best name, but it was always up to the parents.
"I am going to get more berries for our new son, Tyler." Carlos said. He flew off. He went to the same bush he saw earlier snatched the berries and flew back. "I'm back, I got some more berries." Carlos said. "Shh! He's asleep!" Perla said. "Well if he needs to eat, he needs to wake up." Carlos replied. "WAKE UP!" he screamed. A lot of birds flew out of their hollows panicking. He woke up and opened his mouth. Perla chewed up the berries and regurgitated them and Tyler ate the mushed up food.
"Okay, story time!" Joseph said. He hoped Blu would understand. "Once there was a lonely nest, with the last possible family of spix's macaws remaining. Then one day, our youngest brother Tyler was snatched by a bird named Travis, our mother's arch enemy from childhood. Then a girl spix's macaw free spirited struck out and saved Tyler! She returned home to the great tree and met him again years later. But some say that Travis still lives. He hides and smuggled other birds! "Stop! Your gonna give him nightmares!" Sapphire said. "He's too young!"
But Blu fell asleep before he went on with the story. "Okay, the end!" "It's branching time for sapphire!"Joseph said. Perla was teaching Sapphire how to fly. "Feel your heart every second!" She said. "Look mom! I'm gonna be the best flyer!" "Cause macaws are best at everything." "Right mom?." "Not necessarily Sapphire, Hyacinth macaws are a lot better than Spix's macaws." Perla said. "I know, we're smaller, but as soon as I'm about to catch a berry..." Sapphire continued. "Then you will take a wrong stroke or turn, and you and if you have hatchlings will possibly starve, birds can't survive without food for long." "I know already." She yawned, "okay time for bed". Her mother and her went back to the hollow.
1 month later...
"Alright let's go find some berries!" Carlos said excited. "Let's meet our aunts and uncles!" Sapphire said. "No, we only have one aunt and an uncle remember?" Joseph reminded Sapphire. "Wait are you sure he is going to be alright?" Perla asked "He'll be fine" Carlos said. "But he can't fly yet, he is only a month old." Sapphire said. "Let's just go."Joseph said. little did they know that Tyler was starting to dancing to the music...
All the birds of a feather
do what we love most of all
we are the best at rhythm and laughter
that's why we love carnival
possibly we can sing to
sun and nature's big moon
dance to the music
passion and love
show us the best you can do
everyone here is on fire
get up and join in the fun
dance with a stranger
romance and danger
magic can happen for real
in Rio
all by itself (itself)
you can't see
it coming
you can't feel it all by our self
Then he saw some golden conures being thrown out of the nest! He was sad they fell, but then they started flying! He decided to join the chicks.
it's real in Rio
You know something else
you can't see it coming
you won't find it anywhere else
Then he tried to fly after seeing other chicks fly. But all of a sudden...Crash! Bang! The smugglers came and started to trap a bunch of birds. Blu was frightened. Then he got distracted and accidentally fell out of the nest. He kept falling and falling hearing a whispering voice. "Blu, Blu, Blu..."
