It's early in the morning in Rio De Janeiro but that didn't stop Jewel from waking up early to get breakfast for her family.
Jewel arrived at the common place for animals to collect their breakfast in the landed and proceeded to walk around the area to look at the different variety of fruits available.
Usually they would eat mangos for breakfast but today Jewel decided that they should try something new.
"What should I get?Apple,Orange,Banana,Star fruit or peach?"Jewel thought with her wings folded.
When Jewel was deep in thoughts,she heard a commotion coming from her couldn't see what was happening as her view was block by bushes.
Her initial thought was to ignore it but she felt this feeling in her head that she should check what was happening.
Putting all doubts aside,Jewel tip toed through the Bushes and when she made it to the other side of the Bushes,she saw that a young yellow ma'am was being surrounded by three bulldogs.
"You are so tiny that I can so low you whole!"One of the bull dog mocked the Yellow Macaw before the three of them broke out in the Yellow ma'am could do was back away in fear with tears in his eyes.
"Guys,I have another one,"One of the bulldog announced as the rest waited for him to share his joke about the Yellow Macaw.
"His so tiny that he looks like a banana,so a monkey mistook him as a banana and started peeling off all his feathers before he are him!"The three bulldog all broke laughing again,leaving the Yellow Macaw in tears as he shivered in fear.
Jewel clenched her wings and her beak was trembling in anger,she couldn't stand there and watch any longer.
"Hey!"Jewel shouted at the top of her lungs which immediately got the attention of the three Bulldogs.
"What do you want!"One of the Bull Dog barked.
"Stopped bullying the kid!"Jewel three Bull dogs turned to face each other before they broke out laughing.
"What if we don't, What are you going to do about it?"One of the Bulldog walked over to the Yellow Macaw and pushed him down with his paw,causing the Yellow Macaw to fall down in pain.
The atmosphere grew more tense with each passing second.
"Get her!"The three Bull dogs charged at without hesitation took flight,she zoomed passed the three Bulldogs before she grabbed the Yellow Macaw with her talons.
Jewel flew away from the area leaving the three Bulldogs there."Coward!"One of the Bulldog barked.
"You okay?"Jewel asked the Yellow Macaw as she continued her flight.
"Yes,thanks for the save,"The yellow Macaw replied.
"Now,let's get you home,"Jewel told the Yellow Macaw.
(A few hours later)
At the Gunderson family nest,Bia,Carla,Tiago and Blu are inside their hollow doing their usually thing but It was made harder due to the fact that almost every second,the tree that the hollow is in will shake violently which also caused the lighted blue macaws kids to be bounced off the ground of the hollow before they land back down on their butt.
"What's wrong with Mom?"Bia asked as she bounced off the ground again by another another violent shake.
"I don't know she had been like this since she came back after she returned with breakfast,"Blu replied as he struggled to maintain his balance in the shaking tree.
"I think you made her angry Dad,"Tiago commented.
"Nonsense,I will never make her angry,"Blu replied.
"While someone has to stop her,"Carla added in annoyed voice as she couldn't listen to her iPod because her ear phones will always fall of her ear whenever the tree shakes.
"Dad,Go!"The three kids said in unison after a moment of silence.
"What!"Blu exclaimed on shock.
"Come on Dad,don't tell me you are afraid of Mom,"Carla said.
"Are you kidding me,I'm not going to talk to her,now she is punching the tree if I talk to her,she might change target and start punching me,"Blu retaliated with his eyes wide opened.
After their conversation,their realise that the shaking has four walked towards the exit of the hollow and stick their head out and to their surprise,Jewel is no longer there.
"A...where did Mom go?" Bia asked as she turned to face Blu.
"I don't know," Blu replied with his shoulders shrugged.
A few kilometers away,Jewel continued to soar through the sky as she headed for Luiz garage.
After a short while of flying,Jewel landed outside of Luiz garage before she made her way in.
Inside the garage, Luiz was busy eating his hotdogs that Jewel got for him the day before.
"Hey Luiz!" Jewel greeted him much to his surprise.
"Jewel!what a surprise!" Luiz cried out with a smile on his face.
"You enjoying your hotdogs?" Jewel asked.
"Yeah," Luiz agreed as he swallowed another piece of hotdog.
"Good,but I not here to ask you there,I'm here to ask for your help," Jewel said.
"Sure,anything for you," Luiz agreed happily.
"I need your help to find three bull dogs," Jewel requested.
"A...you are going to have to be more specific then that,casue there is a lot of bull dogs in Rio,"Luiz said as he shot Jewel a dubious look.
"They go about in a gang of three and bullies other animals," Jewel told Luiz everything she knew about the three bulldogs,hoping that it will be enough for Luiz to help her find them.
Luiz thought for awhile before he snapped his paws,"O think I know who you are looking for."
Luiz walked to a drawer and took out a photo before he proceeded back to Jewel.
Luiz handed Jewel and Jewel immediately recognised the three bulldogs in the photo,"They are the ones."
"Where can I find them?"Jewel asked before Luiz had a chance to speak.
Luiz did not replied but instead he asked,"What are you planning to do?"
"I'm going to teach them a lesson about bullying other animals,"Jewel replied much to Luiz horror.
"Jewel don't do it,you will never be able to get out of a fight with them alive,"Luiz warned with a worried expression on his face.
"I'm not gonna fight them,I have other ways," Jewel replied vaguely.
"What other ways?" Luiz asked.
"You will find out once I'm done," Jewel replied.
"Alright,I will tell you where you can find them,they are often found hanging out in the alley behind 'Kendricks Tea Shop'," Luiz told Jewel.
"Thanks for the Info and not a word about this to Blu,"Jewel requested which Luiz agreed to.
Jewel spread her wings and flew out of the garage.
After a few hours,the sun started to set in Rio and Jewel just arrived at the alley that Luiz told her about.
Jewel walked into the alley and sure enough she saw the figure the three bulldogs.
" Hey!"Jewel called out to get their attention.
"While,while, while,If it isn't the bird from earlier,"One for the Bulldog said as they started approaching Jewel in a intimating manner But Jewel stood her ground.
"You have guts!"The bulldog exclaimed.
"I'm going to put an end to you bullies!"Jewel exclaimed but the three bulldog simply laughed in response.
"You expect to take us down?"One of the Bulldog asked sarcastically.
"Maybe you should try in your next life,"With that,the three bulldog charged at Jewel with their Jaw opened,all wanting to have the pleasure of finishing Jewel.
But Jewel did not move a inch from her position and instead held her position with a huge smirked on her face.
The three bulldogs stopped in their path when they felt that they were shot by turned to looked at their left leg and saw that they been shot by a needle,to be note precise,it's a tranquilizer dart.
"Goodnight,"Jewel said before the three Bulldog collapsed onto the ground after the tranquilizer dart took it's effect.
Behind Jewel,Tulio walked out with the tranquilizer gun in his hand.
"Animal control will be coming soon and they will take of things," Tulio informed Jewel.
Jewel squawked at Tulio as her way to say thanks.
"You're welcome," Tulio replied as Jewel took flight back to her nest where she knew she had some explaining to do.
Jewel landed in her hollow where are family is waiting for her.
"Hey honey,you're back," Blu greeted Jewel nervously as he wasn't sure if Jewel had clam down.
"So if you don't mind me asking,why were you punching the tree just now?" Blu asked.
Jewel smiled at Blu and replied,"I was just venting out my anger."
Jewle sighed and sat down next to Blu and she rest her head on his shoulders."But I feel a lot better know,"Jewel said as she closed her eyes to rest after all she been through that day.
