The next day, after the Spix macaws awoke, they immediately started looking for a way to get Blu and Jewel rid of the chains that were holding them to each other. However, they revealed themselves to be more solid than expected and couldn't break it, regardless of Adam smashing his shield on it, Star and Alicia using their white and black magic respectively on it, Polie throwing his balloon at it only to receive it back to his head, Jewel smashing her stick on it, or even Blu trying to stretch his plastic leg to get out of it.
Eventually, they decided to change tactics and Blu worked on a plan to lift a big rock with some vines thanks to a tree branch.
"Huh, you're sure we're not gonna end up squashed?" Jewel asked through the vine she was holding with her beak.
"100% sure; look at my calculations," Blu answered with pointing his wing at a series of calculations he traced in the sand.
"D-Do you understand any of it?" Polie asked Adam through the vine he was holding in his beak to which he answered with a head shake.
"That's very reassuring, thanks," Jewel sarcastically as the six birds kept dragging the vine. "What matters is to break this chain."
"Yeah," Blu said just as they finally tied the tip of the vine to a branch, "then we can go find Linda."
"No, YOU can go find Linda," Jewel replied. "Once those chains are off, I and my friends are going back to the Amazon and search for our friends. Okay?"
"Sure," Blu answered as he positioned their chains under the giant rock. "High-five," he said with lifting his wing and accidentally knocked the vine in the process.
The vine got unhooked from the branch and caught Blu's beak which caused him to be dragged alongside Jewel and it ended with the two of them flipping everywhere before landing beside the giant rock. With their chains still on...
"Are you alright?" Star asked as she and the three others rushed at their side.
"Well, we almost got killed, but except that, I'm fine," Jewel replied as the two girls helped her standing up.
"What matters is to try," Adam pointed out as he helped Blu back up as well.
Blu suddenly heard some noise coming from the bushes. "I-I think something's watching us!" As he said that, everyone got ready to fight any predator that could come out...only to see a few baby toucans coming out.
"Aww, they're adorable!" Star beamed as she welcomed one of them into her wings with Alicia reacting the same way.
Polie and Adam picked them too as they were too adorable to resist. Jewel did the same, but Blu was kinda hesitant as one of them held his wing and jumped as he wanted to be taken.
"Careful, Blu; he might hug you to death," Jewel teased at Blu's hesitation.
The macaw hesitated a bit more, looking between his friends and the little baby bird who kept jumping. After all, what could go wrong with taking a kid? So, he finally decided to take the little toucan in his wings and made him rest on his chest...and immediately regretted it as he started plucking his chest feathers with his beak.
Blu started panicking as more little toucans arrived and attacked the macaw group, plucking their feathers, biting them, and generally harming them in many ways at the same time. Before long, all six of them ended up falling down, Blu and Jewel getting their legs trapped in their chains, and the youngest of the toucans called for all the others to attack them. Luckily, an adult toucan who seemed to be their father came out from a nest.
"What are you doing, down there?" he asked before flying down to get the kids away from the macaws. "Enough! Get away, kids," he said, but then they all turned their attention to him while shouting: "Dad!"
The old macaw chuckled. "Guys, I've told you a thousand times. Manuela, Sofia, come on now, listen to me," he tried to control, the kids before one of them poked him in the eye. "Ouch! Right in the eye."
"Aw, little angels, right?" Jewel commented as she got back up alongside her friends and dusted their feathers off.
"Kids? Seventeen of them, and one on the way," the toucan remarked before noticing something. "Hey! It's not a maraca! Stop shaking him!" he screamed at two of his kids who were shaking an egg in their nest. He then sighed. "They're giving me gray feathers! Oh, this papa needs a break!" he moaned before turning his attention to the macaws. "So, you six lovebirds heading for Carnival?"
This caused the six of them to blush. "Wow, lovebirds?!" Jewel asked.
"Not exactly," Adam said with rubbing the back of his head.
"We're just trying to break our friends free from those chains," Star explained.
"And we got captured by some crazy cockatoo with human smugglers!" Polie added.
"We want to go back in the Amazon rainforest," Alicia added with a nod.
"Yes, and I want to find my friends and mother, Linda-OUCH!" Blu said but got interrupted by a baby toucan who bit feathers off his tail. "What's their problem with feathers?!"
"No idea; they have a psy," the toucan answered with putting a kid off his wing and onto his shoulder.
"Say, won't you have an idea to get these chains off?" Jewel asked with showing the chains.
The toucan gave a smile. "Lucky for you, you know Rafael, and Rafael knows everyone," he said before another kid jumped and hit him in the eye. "Ow, again with the eye! Okay, you want me to call your mother?"
As he asked that, the kids suddenly put on scarred looks and ran away with shouting: "NO!"
The toucan named Rafael chuckled. "Works every time, they're scared to death of her." This comment caused the macaws to give confused glances as they didn't understand.
Suddenly, a female keel-billed toucan with a pretty strict air arrived. "Call me for what?" she asked which caused the macaws to drop their confused glances as they immediately understood.
"Eva, my love," Rafael said with quickly dropping his scarred air as he went beside the macaws and somehow managed to wrap his wings around all of them. "I must take those young couples to see Luiz."
"Luiz? Huh, you don't fool me around for a second!" she said with a furious glance. "You and your amigo just want to sneak off to carnival," she said with her wings crossed.
"Man, she's harsh!" Polie mumbled to Blu.
"What was that?!" Eva asked.
"Nothing!" Polie said with looking away.
"Aww, carnival," Rafael sighed. "That magical time when I met the most beautiful bird in the world," he complimented with giving a kiss to his still unconvinced wife's wing.
This made the six macaws roll their eyes. Eva took her wing away from her mate with a "Hmph!" and turned her back to him.
"I still remember that song that played when I first laid eyes on you," Rafael said as he started singing a song in Portuguese which Blu actually found cute. "Come on, baby, sing it."
If Rafael had a cute voice, Eva had the complete opposite of it as she sang so horribly wrong that the macaws had to cover their hears and the last note she sang was so loud that some nearby birds flew away in fear.
"Like a river of the sweetest honey," Rafael sighed.
"Seriously?" Alicia asked with a confused look as she removed her wings from her ears. "Does this guy have a hearing problem?"
"Looks like love is deaf too," Jewel said to her friend.
The two adult toucans then shared a big kiss which disgusted the kids that were watching from a tree branch.
"Okay, take them to Luiz, but at least take your fork with you," Eva happily said as her mate was holding her with a wing.
"I will, my sweet mango," Rafael assured as he went into his nest for a moment, coming back out with a big bird-sized fork that would normally be used by peasants for their hay along with a bag tied around his waist.
"I can't believe she actually let me go," Rafael remarked as he dragged his macaw friends away from his nest.
"So, is this Luiz far from here?" Blu asked.
"Not too far, thirty minutes as the crow flies," Rafael answered.
"Oh, and as the macaw walks?" Blu asked which earned him a confused look from Rafael.
"Bobo here doesn't know how to fly," Jewel answered which earned her a glare from Blu.
"But he's a bird," said a confused Rafael.
"Yes, but he was raised by a human and had no one to teach him how," Star explained with compassion for her friend.
"Well, I want to help. To walk the whole way, it can't be done," Rafael said before looking at his wife fighting to get the kids to bed. "But, hey, we can always try new tricks, let's go," he said with wrapping his wings around the macaws' shoulders and started walking away. Blu tried to turn his head to look back at the toucans, only to be stopped by Rafael. "Oh no, don't look back, they sense fear."
Alright, our macaw friends met with Rafael. If I gave him a peasant fork is for a reason you'll understand later.
