Rio the series 2
Chapter 2 another Spix Macaw?
It was another peaceful day in all of Brazil. Everyone was enjoying themselves for today, epically the last blue macaws of their kind. Blu, Jewel, and their kids were all enjoying their lives in the local jungle, waiting for their new child to arrive, but none of them had no idea what was coming to them today.
Tulio the Ornithologist was working in the aviary in his office, working on his computer like always. He continued doing so for couple of moments until the door had opened, revealing it be his with who had walked in. "Tulio?" Linda greeted.
"Yes dear?" Tulio greeted, stopping for a moment to see what
"There's a guy here who says he needs to see you about something important." Linda replied.
"Okay, send him in." Tulio requested.
Linda left the room but held the door opened for a moment. Seconds later, a man had walked in. He was bold wearing a black jacket blue jeans and black shoes, and he talked in a deep Russian accent. "Um, are you Dr. Tulio Monteiro?"
"Yes." Tulio replied, placing both of his hands together upon the desk.
"Please to meet you. I'm Alexi Dragov." the man introduced, holding his hand out.
"Please to meet you, Mr. Dragov," Tulio said, excepting his handshake before beckoning for him to take a seat. "What brings you here?"
"Well. I understand you were in possession of the last blue macaws?" Alexi asked, putting his hands in his pockets.
"Yes, but they're not for sale!" Tulio slightly shouted, expecting this man had come here to take Blu and Jewel. He would never give them up, not even for a million dollars.
"No, no, no, you misunderstood. I don't want to buy them." Alexi quickly explained, waving his hands into the air before he said something surprising that was a complete shock. "I want you to adopt one."
"WHAT!" Tulio yelled excitedly, falling back off his chair with a sickening thud. He used to desk to lift himself back up while adjusting his glasses across his face. "Sorry. Did you say another blue macaw?"
"Yes, I have had him for ten years. I didn't know he was endangered, so I think he should be here with you. I have looked after him for years, but I think he should live with people who can care of him." Alexi explained.
"Wow, do you have him now?" Tulio asked eager to meet this new blue macaw.
"Yes, I left him with your receptionist." Alexi replied, making his way over the exit of Tulio's office. He walked outside and returned seconds later with a blue kennel in his grip. He arched an eyebrow when seeing Tulio smile while he excitedly rubbed his hands. "You ok there?"
"Yeah, just a little excited. I can't believe another macaw from Russia." Tulio answered, attempting to see what he looked like through his kennel cage but it was too dark to see in. "Can you tell me anything about him?"
"His name is Lev, he is eighteen-years-old, and he is really nervous around other people so be careful." Alexi described.
"I will, don't worry about that." Tulio assured, still a little excite as Alexi placed the kennel upon his desk. "All you need to do is just fill out a couple of paper work."
Alexi nodded in agreement before he turned his kennel around to see Lev inside and say his goodbyes. "Well, little guy. I've looked after you for a long time but you should be here now with your own kind, I'll miss you. Goodbye and I promise you will see me again one day. "
"Where do I fill in the paperwork?" Alexi inquired,
"Right here." Tulio said, handing the paper to Alexi.
Alexi filled in the paper, and gave Tulio another handshake to settle their deal. After Alexi had left, Tulio shifted his attention over to the kennel looked inside the kennel.
Lev got scarred when seeing the unfamiliar face and ran to the corner of his cage and covered his eyes within his wings.
"Hm, I better go tell Blu and Jewel." Tulio told himself, knowing they were going to want to see this shocking discovery.
In the Brazilian jungle of Rio de Janeiro, the black Hawk known as Ricardo (or Rico, as he liked to be called for short) was in his tree hollow, sleeping unpleasantly since he had a bit of a headache from drinking with Rapper almost all night again.
He attempted to enjoy his sleep until he heard shouting that caused him to wake up, his eyes widened open.
"BLU! JEWEL, you out here!?" a familiar voice called out.
Rico kept his eyes closed with his wing placed over his face, and he mumbled to himself. "Don't be the bird doctor, don't be the bird doctor."
Tulio began making squawking noises in an attempt to gain their attention.
"Yep, it's him." Rico sighed.
Rico got out of his nest and hollow, and flew down to Tulio and perched himself on his arm. Tulio stoked him across the head the second he landed down to greet him properly. "Hello there, Rico, is Blu and Jewel around?"
Rico pointed his toes up "meaning one second". He flew in to Blu and Jewels hollow but they were still sleeping. "Blu, Jewel, wake up!" Rico slightly yelled.
They didn't move, so Rico went right by them, standing only inches away. "WAKE UP!" Rico bellowed.
"AH!" Blu and Jewel woke up screaming. Blu responded by panicking, as for Jewel, she curled her wing like a fist in the quick of an eye, she struck Rico directly in the face, thinking her was an attacker.
Rico felt down upon his back, clutching his beak in his wings. "Ow Oh, meu Deus, isso doi (Oh, my God, it hurts)"
"Oh, Rico, I'm so sorry." Jewel apologized, retracting her wing back to her side as she was shocked to why she just did.
"Ow, you punched me in the beak!" Rico complained, holding onto his beak in agonizing pain. "Oh, I think it's broken."
"Rico, what are you doing?" Blu asked, rubbing both of his eyes with his wings.
"Bleeding." Rico sarcastically replied.
"Sorry, but why are you here and why did you wake us up?" Blu asked two questions.
"Tulio's outside he wants to see you both." Rico said, causing Jewel to groan in frustration for one reason: she hated being woken up just to see someone that isn't even her specious.
"ERrrrrrrrrrrrrg." Jewel groaned, sighing since she knew there was going to be a pathetic reason why she had to go. "Ok, Rico can you watch the kids for us?"
The hawk nodded in agreement.
"Come on, Blu." Jewel said, tugging his wing slightly.
Blu and Jewel landed outside and jumped on Tulio's arm. "Hello, guys, how are you both doing?" Tulio asked, as he stroked both their heads. They both made happy squawks in response.
"Hey guys, good news. A man came to me this morning and he gave me another one of your kind from Russia!" Tulio declared with a huge smile raised across his face.
Blu and Jewel both went wide-eyed. Blu grabbed a pen and paper out Tulio's lad pocket and wrote a note for him to read?
Can we see him or her?
"Yes you can, and by the way, he's names Lev and he's eighteen-years-old but be careful, he's nervous around other people." Tulio explained to them both. He began making his way over to his jeep that he drove here in with Blu and Jewel, perched on his shoulders.
After a few minutes of during the drive, Tulio finally made it back to the aviary, and set Blu and Jewel into the artificial jungle where they first met.
"Wait here, guys, I'll go get him." Tulio requested, while he put both of them down and left the room to get Lev and introduce him to her.
While he was gone, Blu and Jewel began talking with each other.
"Wow. Another blue macaw." Blu said excitedly.
"Yeah, I can't wait to meet him." Jewel smiled.
Blu looked at Jewel suspiciously, and then worried thoughts wondered around his mind. "What if this new Macaw is handsomer and Jewel falls for him?" he gulped for a question and asked her the question that he needed to know. "Um Jewel, please don't be mad, but if he's handsome, you wouldn't leave me, would you?"
"WHAT!?" Jewel yelled her eyes as wide as they could go before chuckling. "Blu, that's crazy. I love you and our kids. I wouldn't throw that away for some Russian spetsnaz."
"You're right, I'm sorry I over reacted." Blu apologized, feeling a little embarrassed to what he must assumed.
"That's ok, but if you wanna make up for it, come here." Jewel grinned, beckoning for him to come closer.
Blu walked over to Jewel, and without thinking, he placed his wings around her back, and Jewel took it on her cue to move her wings onto the back of Blu's neck.
"If you want forgiveness, I order you to kiss me." Jewel ordered with a smile across her beak.
"Your wish is my command." Blu smiled, pulling her a little closer towards him.
Blu and Jewel shared a kiss with each other, closing their eyes, enjoying the moment.
Tulio walked back in to the room with the kennel within his hands and set it down on the artificial jungle ground. He opened the door but he didn't come out. "It's ok, little guy, come on out." Tulio said.
Lev still didn't move. Tulio tipped the kennel sidewards and he came slipping out. Tulio left the room, locking the door behind him the process. Lev got onto his talons and just stood there looking around. Lev was a male Macaw he had dark blue feathers dark brown eyes like Blu. He had a black beak. He had black talons like Jewels. And he had a black line from the top of his head to his tail feathers and he had a deep voice with a Russian accent.
"Hello." Blu greeted with a normal smile across his beak.
"Erm, hello." Jewel greeted, standing beside her lovehawk as they both greeted the new blue macaw.
Lev (hearing Jewel's voice) got startled, and put his wings up in self-defense. He attempted to threaten these new strangers within his native language. "Не подходи! Я предупреждаю тебя, я опасен! (Stay back! I'm warning you, I'm dangerous!)"
"Do you speak English?" Blu asked.
"No-Oh darn, so much for that." Lev told himself in English. He got scarred and jumped in to a bush for cover, fearing these two macaws were going to attack him, and without his human, he had no protector.
"Hey, it's ok, don't get scarred, we're not going to hurt you." Jewel assured, speaking a sweet tone in an attempt to convince him they were not a threat.
"Yeah, come on out, its ok, we're harmless." Blu said, before looking at Jewel, who looked at him with an evil face. "Well I'm harmless."
Lev slowly walked out of the bush and approached them, slightly shaking as he kept both of his wings to his sides. "H-h-hi." he greeted him in return, but took a step back when Blu offered him a foot shake.
"My name's Blu and this is my mate Jewel." Blu introduced them both.
Lev slowly put his talon out and shook Blu and Jewel's talons in a way of greeting one and other, and he now seemed a little calmer and confident enough to introduce himself. "Hello. m-my names Lev."
"Now don't get scared, Lev, but there is something you need to know." Jewel told him. "Lev, did you know that were the last of are kind?"
"We are?" Lev said, a little surprised to find out he was an endangered specious on the verge of extinction.
"I'm the last female, you and Blu are the last males, and we have three kids who are the last sons and daughter. And I'm having another baby soon." Jewel explained, still smiling as she placed her wing onto her stomach.
"Wow, that's, umm, shocking...Well congratulations on your child." Lev congratulated, finally putting on a smile across his beak.
"So, do you have any medical condition? What's with the line?" Blu asked. Jewel slapped him "OW!"
"Blu, be nice!" Jewel told him in a yelling whisper.
"Oh, my black line, yeah, I was born with it." Lev explained, turning his head around slightly to examine his line. "I don't mind it though."
"Wow so Lev what's Russia like?" Jewel asked.
"It's ok...I'm going to miss Alexi though." Lev admitted with a hint of sadness in his voice.
"Who's he, your owner?" Blu asked.
"Yeah, ten years ago, I was flying and I got attacked by a dog, but Alexi came and saved me and took me in, looked after me for ten years, like I was his son."
"I had an owner too, her name was Linda, she looked after me for fifth-teen years, but she took me here to be with Jewel, but we ended up going on an adventure together." Blu replied, thinking that he and Lev were going to be good friends.
"Wow can you tell me the story please?" Lev asked.
"Sure." Jewel smiled.
Blu and Jewel told Lev the story about meeting each other in the artificial jungle, getting captured, getting chained together, the club, getting free, Jewel getting injured and Blu learning to fly and then being free and having their children.
"Wow, that's really good quite an adventure." Lev admitted with a smile.
"Yeah it was." Jewel agreed, but did notice they had been here quite a while and decided it was time they left. "If you want to, me and Blu will show you around the jungle."
"Um, yeah, sure, thank you." Lev thanked.
At perfect timing, the door opened and Linda walked. Lev, seeing the big human, got scarred and hid inside a bush. Linda picked up Blu and stroked him, holding him like a new born baby. Jewel merely landed on her shoulder.
"Hi guys, I came to see this new bird Tulio told me about." Linda said, before noticing it was just them two. "Where is he?"
Lev slowly walked out of the bush and walked over to Linda, keeping both of his wings to his sides nervously. Linda put her arm out to him for him to perch on, but he took a step back.
"It's ok, Lev this is Linda my ex-owner, she won't hurt you." Blu reassured.
Lev trusted him and slowly put his talons on Linda's arm and she gave him a stroke on the head. "Wow, I can't believe another Macaw...Tulio says you three guys can go to the jungle now, ok?" Linda told them, continuing to stroke him on the head for a couple of more moments.
Before long, the trio decided it was time for them to go, and the three macaws flew back to the jungle of Rio de Janeiro to show Lev around and get him adjusted to wild life.
Shortly after leaving the aviary, Blu introduced Lev to the other birds and monkeys. Everyone stood in the open area outside of Blu's tree while they were on the ground, speaking with one and other.
"So, I have a question: how are you guys so cheerful every day?" Lev asked.
"Well we are the best at rhythm and laughter." Rico said.
The chorus came behind him and sang.
-that's why we love carnival...
"Not now guys." Rico told the other birds.
"You know, Lev, you should get in to the singing spirit like all us all." Blu replied with a smile across his beak. "It's in our hearts."
"Yeah, feel the rhythm in your heart." Rafael agreed.
"How do I do that then?" Lev inquired, shrugging his shoulders slightly.
"Guys, shall we sing our song?" Blu asked to all the birds, wanting to show the Russian macaw how everyone here in Rio lived.
"LETS!" all the birds replied in unison as they started up their rhythm. Everyone sang perfectly and dance around the entire area, singing their famous song: Real in Rio.
All the birds of a feather

Everyone finished their song and most of them dispersed into random directions. Blu landed next to Lev, whom had merely been watching the entire time. "So what do you think?"
"That was fantastic...I...I can feel something in my body." Lev admitted, surprised to how wonderful this place was.
"Like I said before: rhythm you feel in your heart." Rafael smiled, placing a wing upon his chest.
"Я мог бы остаться здесь, в конце концов (I might stick around here, after all)" Lev spoke to himself with a smile across his beak, realizing this place did not seem so bad after all, and living here would be perfect.
Chapter 2 is completed, and here we meet Lev the blue macaw from Russia, and he will now join Blu, Jewel, and the rest of their friends in the beautiful jungle of Rio de Janeiro. Stay tuned for chapter 3, ladies and gentleman.
