Plot
About three years after the events of the second film, it is summer in Brazil, Blu (Jessie Eisenberg) and Jewel (Anne Hathaway) are enjoying their wild lives in the Amazon rainforest (which is part of the recently established wildlife refuge), with their three young teenagers: the oldest and music loving Carla (Rachel Crow), the intelligent and energetic Bia (Amandla Stenberg) and the youngest and mischevious Tiago (Pierce Gagnon) as well as their extended family: the protective and honourable Eduardo (Andy Garcia) and the funny and loving Mimi (Rita Moreno). Meanwhile back in Rio, Blu's former owner, Linda Gunderson (Lesilie Mann), her loving husband, Tulio (Rodrigo Santoro) and their adopted teenage son, Fernando (Jake T. Austin) are settling down together as a family in the busy city life. However, Linda has been feeling rather empty in her heart and she feels deeply distressed not because of her family but because of her best and most closest friend, Blu. Linda still misses her dear old companion after several months having not had any contact with him or his family and hopes to see him sometime soon to ensure that he, his family and the entire Blue Spix Macaw tribe are all safe in their newly formed wildlife refuge. Later that day, Tulio notices Linda's constant worrying state and asks her what is wrong, knowing full well how emotional and concerned she can get towards those who are close to her, after first meeting her several years prior (During the events of the first film). Linda tells him that she misses Blu badly and wants to visit him sometime in the next few days, Tulio realizes her concerns and informs Linda that he will take her to the Conservation Centre in Rio (where Nigel and Gabi are being held captive) so that way he can radio the newly formed sanctuary in the heart of the Amazon where the Spix Macaw tribe resides and get word as to how he and his family are doing. Fernando overhears their conversation in the hallway and being curious and energetic asks Tulio and Linda if he can tag along with them and help out. Tulio agrees and together the family set off to the Conservation Centre in Rio in Tulio's new jeep (which belongs to the Conservation Centre).

Back in the Amazon the Spix Macaw family are content with their everyday lives, Tiago is playing soccer with his uncle, Roberto (Bruno Mars), and has been dating his new girlfriend Stancy, Bia and Carla are learning more about their surroundings and enjoying their time making new female friends and Jewel is happily living her life with her loving mate and family in their Amazon habitat, everything seems to be utterly content. But although Blu has the perfect life in the Amazon, a true loving family and clan that cares for him, a part of him, deep down still misses his former domesticated life with Linda; and not only that but just recently, something disturbing and dormant in the back of his mind is becoming present, something that makes him feel somewhat incomplete, almost as if he is missing something; something that he cannot remember ever since he was a small 3 month old chick. However in spite of all this Blu cannot put a talon on it and feels a strong desire and longing to learn about his past but he is not sure what it is or where to start. While Blu is in deep concentration, staring at his reflection in the water ripples of their jaccuzi, thinking about his former life before he was smuggled to Minnesota Eduardo visits his family's nest and upon arrival greets his family with open arms. Carla, Bia and Tiago instinctively run up to their grandfather and pull him into a group hug, Jewel then approaches her father and asks her young teenagers to go and find Aunt Mimi so they can catch up with her and her daily route. Having been removed of their vice hug, Eduardo then approaches Jewel and kisses the side of his daughters beak and tells her that he needs to speak with Blu about an important matter regarding the tribe and its inhabitants. Jewel smiles delightfully and immediantly asks her father to wait in the main entrance for her husband so she can fetch him, knowing full well that he is in the other room. But when Jewel comes into the same room and sees Blu she notices that he appears distraught and rather flummoxed about something obviously deep in thought, when she calls to him, Blu jumps having not heard anyone come in at such short notice and accidently trips on one of the vines that lines the interior floors of their hollow. Jewel giggles at his predicament and amusing reaction and tells him to calm down and that it is only her. Blu laughs it off histerically and walks up to her in his usual cheerful state, having left his memories of youth behind him in his present state. He then asks her where their teenagers are to which Jewel says that she sent them off to see her aunt by the clay banks, she then tells him that her father wants to speak with him about something important to do with their tribe. After hearing this news Blu asks what it is, confused as to why her father would want to speak to him so ergently about something so personal and devotional? Jewel happily insists that he talk to her father and figure out what it is otherwise she'll 'punish him when he gets back'. Blu not fully aware of his mates seductive tone of voice looks at her confused and asks her what she means, but before Jewel answers he goes wide eyed realizing what she's getting at. Playing along with her Blu smiles lovingly and wraps his wings around her tenderly while she does the same and tells her in the same toned voice that maybe he should consider talking with Eduardo if she's going to behave naughty in front of him. Jewel giggles mischeviously at Blu and says that if he carries on with his change of behaviour she will punish him more severely, Blu merely shrugs it off and tells his beautiful mate that he will only behave if she follows his lead and stops talking. Jewel then battes her eyelashes at him and tells Blu that she'd be more than happy too so long as he promises her one thing, when Blu asks what it could be Jewel moves her face closer to her mates before saying in a loving tone to kiss her. Blu instinctively reciprocates Jewels movements towards him and tells her sweetly that he would be delighted to. But just as it seems they are about to kiss passionately Eduardo catches them in the act, smiling but at the same time amused at the situation, he immediantly coughs inwardly, breaking the two lovebirds out of their special moment together. Simultaneously Blu and Jewel jump back in shock, inadvertently looking at the others blushing faces and looking randomly around their hollow. Blu and Jewel then look towards Eduardo who looks at the pair sarcastically with a slight grin plaguing his beak, he then tells them that he is sorry for having to break their private time up but he has to speak with Blu. Blu looks to Jewel who simply rolls her eyes around playfully and tells him that he should get going as he shouldn't keep her fathers time any longer, knowing how her father can be when he gets impatient (though deep down she is quite disappointed and embarrassed that her father interrupted her and her husband without such warning, catching the two about to kiss). Blu smiles and promises Jewel that he will be back soon, he then confronts his father in law and tells him to lead the way. Eduardo, now in a cheerful state of mind smiles jubilantly at Blu and his daughter and takes off in full haste. But before Blu follows Eduardo, Jewel wraps her wings around Blu from behind and turns him around so that he is facing her. Blu, surprised at this turn of events asks Jewel what she is doing? But before Blu can talk any further Jewel puts her wingtip on his beak, removes it gently and kisses him on the beak passionately. When Blu realizes what is occurring he opens his eyes wide in shock, but as the effects of the kiss overwhelm his senses he gives in to the pleasure, closes his eyes and kisses her back with increasing passion. The two lovebirds separate and Jewel tells Blu not to keep her waiting to long, Blu, now in a loving state says to his Angel that he would never doubt her love for a second and will return as soon as possible. Without much more time to waste Blu flies off after Eduardo and calls back to Jewel saying that he loves her and vice versa, Blu then catches up with Eduardo and asks him where they are going and what he wants to talk to him about? Eduardo then asks his son in law to follow him to the sanctuary's central waterfall asking him that he needs to discuss something with him in private as it is important to the tribe. Without any further questions Blu agrees and once the two arrive Eduardo and Blu land at the top of the waterfall, Eduardo then tells Blu that he has a huge honourable proposal to give him, a proposal that he has thought about ever since Blu saved the tribe from the loggers 3 years prior. Blu who is slightly bewildered by what Eduardo is talking about asks him what he means as he does not fully understand. Eduardo tells Blu that he feels as though he is getting older and has come to the conclusion that he has made a decision on who will become the new leader of the Spix Macaw tribe, when Blu asks who it is by guessing Jewel, Roberto and the cranky old macaw, Eduardo merely laughs and pulls his son in law into a one winged hug telling him that he should be the leader of the flock after him. When Blu hears Eduardo's words he is shocked, believing that he doesn't have the ability to do so since he has been a household companion most of his life with his former human companion, Linda. But Eduardo tells him that he should be leader, not just because of his courage, intelligence, wisdom, intellect or bravery but because of his true heart and ability to have what it takes to be a true leader. He then tells Blu that he has grown to accept Blu for who he is and that the entire grove (sanctuary) has faith in him (simultaneously he waves his wing around the tribe and Blu watches his movements with scrutiny). He also tells Blu that Jewel, his children, his family and his friends cherish him and that his parents would be proud of him should they see him now, but upon hearing about his real parents Blu feels depressed and looks slumped down and upset not knowing what happened to them or where they are, realising that is what he is missing in his life, his loving parents. Upon receiving no answer from Blu about his decision Eduardo looks next to him and sees his son in law sulking, believing his sudden openness to be too much on Blu he asks Blu what is wrong and why he is not delighted and his proposal. Blu tells Eduardo that it is not him and that it is about his former life, Blu then decides to take up Jewels offer to visit Rio again (even though they have been there two times since they joined the Eduardo's tribe) so that he can see Linda again and visit their other friends while there. When Blu asks Jewel and the family about his wish to go back to Rio they agree and Jewel happily insists that they take her father this time in order to show him around Rio and help him realise how they both met and later fell in love with each other (during the course of their first adventure). Blu then convinces Rafael, Eva, Nico, Pedro and Luiz to join him and Jewel on their journey and Rafael then informs Blu that they can catch up on their lives, explore the city and celebrate in Nico and Pedro's samba club "Paradise" in the next few days (After Nico and Pedro suggested it to him as during their conversation), he then recalls the memories of when he and Eva first celebrated together as a loving, content couple (hinting to Blu that he should do the same, as he knows that they are "lovebirds"). However when Blu and Jewel talk to Eduardo about his family's travel plans and Jewel's personal request, he is hesitate on leaving his clan behind without a leader, and though he knows that not all humans are bad (thanks to Blu) he still holds a small doubt as a result of the forest fire since he lost Jewel many years ago, but with further support from Mimi he decides to join them. He makes a deal with Mimi and Felipe (Philip Lawrence) to watch over his tribe until he returns from the trip to Rio, thanking them for their hospitality.

Meanwhile back in the tranquil city of Rio de Janeiro Linda, Tulio and Fernando arrive at the Blu Bird Sanctuary, and thanks to studying more and more of Bazil's family of rare bats (a reference to the snakes alive novel) the sanctuary has become a multi international corporation. Under Tulio's scrutiny the sanctuary and its staff have started to establish Blu Bird Sanctuary Centres in countries all throughout Mexico and the neighbouring countries of Brazil, ensuring that birds have the freedom to thrive in the wild all over South America. When the family reach the top of the tower Tulio's finds a hand radio and tells the Blue Spix Macaw branch, located in the wildlife refuge to report back on Blu and his family to confirm that they are safe and sound with their kind. When Tulio's receives word, the advisor tells him that everything is looking well and that Blu is adapting well since he last saw him, putting Linda's doubt to rest. However after being told by Tulio's of her companions situation Linda still feels troubled without Blu after 1 year and tells her family that she cares for him as a true companion and not simply a mere pet or animal, Blu is her best and most closest friend and she doesn't want him, his family or his tribe harmed in any shape or form. She also explains that this is one of the reasons she grew to love and cherish Tulio, he is an orthonologist and has a strong connection with birds just as she has with Blu and her favourite intelligent type of birds (revealed in the first film, when Linda and Tulio went on their first date). Linda explains to her family that she would never want anyone else by her side as she realises that birds are simply the fabric of her life and that a loving husband who is an expert with birds and their environment can help her in protecting all sorts of birds all over the continent. Linda also thanks Fernando for his support with birds as well and says that she loves him ever since they adopted him as their son many years ago. Tulio's tells his wife that ever since he first met her, he knew she was special and would fully devote himself to protecting the birds of South America as it is his job and not only that he has a desire to make sure that all birds are safe from any harm that may befall them. Linda goes to cottage and looks at photo album of Blu as a chick, with pictures of his family inside, tears produced as she sees them.

Blu's family and friends catch a ride from a nearby paddle boat, Jewel tells Blu that she realises that the kids are becoming more independent birds and that it will soon be time to let them explore the outdoors without the safety of their parents, and not only that, Tiago also misses his girlfriend Stacey. Unfortunately Blu is rather hesitent on this idea and fears of losing the kids to the dangers which lerk in the open wild beyond the sanctuary and tells Jewel that his phobia is because of his early life. He remembers losing his parents and his favorite siblings long before he was smuggled to Minnesota when he was just a month old chick and when Jewel asks how, Blu cannot answer as he has no knowledge of his family he tells her that his family is well since gone and assumes the worst even if there are others out there like them he fears that a similar fate will befall his children and loved ones. Eduardo overhears this and attempts to learn more about his son in law's parents, but Blu doesn't know the fate of his parents as he was too young to understand and tells his family that memories of his childhood are too emotional for him to explain. The ever positive Rafael tells Blu that part of being a wild bird is always knowing that when times get tough there is always hope, he also tells Blu that he already has a family of his own so he has nothing to be ashamned of. Blu tells him that he wants what is best for his family and will try his best to achieve that. When the birds finally arrive in Rio, Rafael, Eva, Nico, Pedro and Luiz decide to go their separate ways and meet up with their old friends so that they can prepare for the festival. Blu then leads his family to their old home before agreeing to visit the bookstore after they have visited Nico and Pedros samba club, all the while visiting the many sites Rio has to offer.

Meanwhile Linda is looking for books relating to native birds in the Amazon when she comes across the photo album of Blu when he was a chick, she is tearfully reminded about her companion before coming to Rio in order to preserve the Spix Macaw species. Tulio sees this and tells his wife that Blu is happy in the Amazon and that she must learn to accept that Blu is all grown up and has new duties in his life to take care of. Linda and Tulio sing a song about loving for the first time they met. Fernando then discovers that a threat East of the Amazon is moving south closer to Rio, concerned they set out into the Amazon to investigate. When the Macaw family, Rafael, Eva and Luiz visit the samba club "Paradise" to meet up with Nico and Pedro, the birds celebrate together by dancing in the club and even pick out some of the exotic fruits from the market place. Just as the song finishes they hear loud squarks and screams coming from outside and find to their surprise that a massive army of green and yellow coloured, military macaws are attacking Rio, threatening other birds in the process. One of the Military Macaws threatens Tiny (Kate Micucci) while she screams out for help in the chaos. After the battle is ensured the leader of the flock appears ontop a massive throne (box) which is being held up by two Military Macaws. The tyrant jumps down from his wooden throne and introduces himself as Terrin (Denis Leary) who requests that Blu come forward and be killed, if he complies no one else will be harmed but only if Blu agrees to his terms. But before Blu has time to speak Eduardo confronts Terrin, who insults his hysterically smaller size and tells him that if any harm befalls his family there will be consequences for his actions. Terrin merely laughs at this threatening proposal and injures Eduardo by severely wounding his stomach. With Blu's family and friends supporting Eduardo after his injury. Terrin turns his attention to his target, Blu. Blu suddenly gets angry and charges at Terrin by hitting him at a wall and groans in pain, Blu bravely and angrily tells Terrin that nobody ever messes with his father in law. Terrin is not too impressed by Blu himself and tells him that he has been a coward for his entire life ever since he was a chick, and that his family used to be such talented birds, but compared with Blu it all means nothing. As Terrin advances on Blu ontop his throne to intimidate his target, Blu promptly injures him as the military macaws drop Terrin's throne (thanks to Luiz after he drools on the ground). Blu then hastly escapes with his family and friends back to the Amazon while being threatened by Terrin's personal army as they attempt to escape Rio, at the same time they visit the Blu Bird sanctuary to tend to Eduardo's wounds to assist him on the trip back to the jungle. Meanwhile back with the Spix Macaw clan Roberto spots humans approaching their premises, he makes his way to Felipe before Mimi tells him that they are a successful asset to the tribe ever since the logging incident a few months prior. Though he is sceptical and horrified around humans he realises that they mean no harm and both fly down to greet them. Linda and Tulio see them approach and welcome them telling them about the dangers they saw throughout the Eastern areas, Mimi is surprised about this and helps lead them to the Eastern areas of the Amazon before informing Felipe of her absence, the two assist the humans on their journey deeper into the dense foliage.

While Linda, Tulio, Roberto and Mimi venture deeper into the Amazon, Eduardo questions Blu about who Terrin is, however this just complicates the matter for Blu as he has to find out about his past to learn more about why Terrin wants to kill him and possibly even threaten his family as a result. Nico and Pedro then suggest to Rafael that they need to check on the club to make sure everything is in order they then depart and promise to return to the Amazon the next day. Night falls and when the group reaches Palmas they decide to rest for the night in a nearby den close to the Amazon river. When the blue macaw kids are sung to sleep, Jewel finds Blu at the river getting cleand up from the attack and joins him. Jewel talks to Blu that it will be soon time to let their kids free into the wild but is slightly fearful of Terrin as he might harm him, her father and their children. Blu reminds her that he is still unsure and will try to find out more about his past as it may be the key to his family's survival in the Amazon. He also informs her that he is not scared of Terrin with an angry look and will do all he can to prevent him from fulfilling his plan, Jewel agrees to help him on their journey and the two fall asleep with their family and friends unaware that Terrin and his forces are closing in on them. Terrin is bitter towards Blu and is determined to rid his threat from Brazil nervous that Blu's father had been planning this ever since his son, Blu, was taken away to Rio to prevent harm from falling onto him at a young age, he and his forces then spot Nico and Pedro flying back to Rio. When Nico asks Pedro if he thinks Eduardo's going to be alright he hates to see him in his injuries like this. Pedro tells him that he is sure he will be fine and tell's him that he thinks he just needs to take it easy. Nico say's yeah and hopes he is doing well. Suddenly Terrin grabs them and says hello to them. He asks if they were going somewhere which makes Nico and Pedro gasp as the saw Terrin. Pedro hits Terrins stomach and lets go of them and the two make a run for it as Terrin was after them. Pedro tells Nico to fly faster adn he tells him that he is trying, but Terrin capture's them and tells them that's enough and he grows tired of this. Terrin then tells Nico and Pedro to come along with him and his army, their going to the eastern areas of the amazon and he wants answers and the two are going to tell him, and then he laughs evilly. Terrin then takes them to the eastern jungle as the two were to make their way back to Rio to check on the club.

The next morning Linda, Tulio, Roberto and Mimi find that the abandoned area has infact been destroyed. When Tulio observes it closely he discovers that it has been grazed and severely burnt and suggests that someone or something very powerful had caused this. As the team closely examine the area Roberto sees that the vegetation has just recently been burnt as he can see some partial flames in the deeper foliage. Shocked, he calls Tulio, Linda and Mimi over who closer inspect Robertos find over the burnt bush, Linda points out that Roberto is telling them that this must of happened recently and since she is an expert with the natural habitat, thanks to Tulio, she calculates that this whole area has been destroyed years ago. Tulio is stunned by this and realises that they are getting closer to their answer and must leave immediately to learn more, but just as the team are about to leave Linda sees a mysterious blue figure in the tree tops, she mentions this to Tulio who calls out to the mysterious bird using his unique bird language. The blue bird quickly fly's away fearful of the humans trespassing on the territory, Mimi and Roberto follow the mysterious bird to a clearing full to the brim of Brazil nuts and other exotic fruits. They also see animal paintings on the trees and wing prints, the figure disappears in a nearby hollow, however the two Blue Macaws follow the bird and find that the bird is in fact another Female Spix Macaw (she was pretty beautiful and she has light blue on her tummy, grey beak and talons and she had some light blue rings around her eyes, of course some white on her face with the rings going across, hair feathers similar to Jewel's and her eyes were a type of forest green while she was wearing a necklace carved into the shape of a falcon). The Macaw steps back in fear of the other two birds threatening to cause harm if they don't leave her premises. However she realises that they are the same species and when Roberto (being the sauve bird he is) tries to calm the bird down he is forced away from the Female who is fearful that the two are traitors for being with humans. But when Mimi introduces theme selves, the Female introduces her self as Jasmine (Vanessa Hudgens) and the three briefly talk until Linda and Tulio are heard nearby, Jasmine is rather fearful of the intruding humans invading her privacy and tells Mimi and Roberto that she doesn't want to be harmed. But Mimi ensures her that these humans are friends of theirs and the entire tribe. Upon hearing that there are others like her she asks Mimi as to where they all are after all this time, believing that she was the only one of her kind in existence. Mimi promises to answer her questions but first helps to overcome her fear of Linda and Tulio. When Tulio sees another Female Spix Macaw he is delighted telling Linda that he had no doubts that there were other Macaws deeper in the Amazon. However when Tulio asks her if there are any more of her kind, besides the other tribe they found in the Amazon, she gives Tulio a sad, depressed look answering Tulio's hopes of finding others out there in the wild. When Roberto asks where she got that necklace around her neck, she tells him that this was a gift from her mother and she never saw her again. Roberto also asks her why she seems so upset by the question, Jasmine shouts at him and tells them that she doesn't want to talk about it, as it is too depressing for her to talk about her haunting past. Linda is slightly taken back by Jasmine's sudden outburst, but Tulio tells her that she probably needs to spend more time with her kind. The humans decide to head back to Rio to observe more about their findings in the Blu Bird sanctuary, while the Spix Macaws decide to go back to the clan but not before saying goodbye to the humans as they depart to the Spix tribe sanctuary.

As the morning sun starts to rise high above the tree tops Blu wakes up to find Jewel next to him in his wings, he finds Eduardo already up close to the near by stream, he decides to join him while saying good morning to him and asks how his injuries are. Eduardo is startled but then hugs his son in law and tells him that there is only a few scratches and that he is fine, thanking Blu for his hospitality. A few minutes later Jewel wakes up only to see that Blu is up early talking with her father, she wakes the children up contently and decides to greet them. After breakfast, Jewel takes Blu to a private area not far from the den and asks him what they should do next knowing that Terrin could be following them along the way. Blu tells her that they should head back home to the tribe before being spotted and threatened by Terrin's army, they both agree and briefly nuzzle each other. When Blu's family and friends return to the Amazon after a few disruptions on their way back they realise that Nico and Pedro have still not returned, Carla is rather worried about her close friends and insists the family go back to check on them, but Bia tells her that she still has the family to look after her and shouldn't worry about it telling her that they were probably delayed just like them on the way back. At the same time Tiago is reunited with Stacey and the two hug each other happy to be together once again. As Eduardo takes recontrol of the tribe from Felipe and Mimi, Eduardo thanks Felipe for watching over his tribe. Felipe tells him he is welcome and he should get back to the red tribe now. Blu and Jewel realise along with Eduardo that there is a new Spix Macaw among them, Eduardo asks what is going on. When one of the male blue macaws tells Eduardo that Roberto and his sister Mimi found this girl with Linda and Tulio, Eduardo questions on what and confronts the newcomer and asks her where she came from and what her name is, surprised that there are even more Spix Macaws out there besides the newest member of his tribe being Blu. When Jasmine introduces herself to Eduardo, Eduardo introduces his close family (Blu, Jewel and his grandchildren) telling her if she ever to need help she is welcome to ask them. However when Jasmine sees Blu she is dumbfounded and recognizes him from when she was only a small chick, Blu is creeped out by her shocked look and asks her what is wrong. He waves a wing in front of her face repetitively only to find her with the same expression as before. After a long silence Jasmine approaches Blu and hugs him delightfully. She tells Blu that she never thought she would see his face again which makes him confused and kisses him on the side of his beak which surprises him, but when Jewel sees this she tells her to get away from mate and pushes Jasmine on the ground. Jasmine is shocked by this and gets up, and asks angrily at Jewel for what is her problem. Jewel tells her that she is the only one who gets to kiss Blu's side of his beak. Jasmine tries to tell Jewel that she does not understand, but Jewel did not care and yells at her to just stay away from her mate with her feather tip pointing at Jasmines face. Jasmine angrily tells her to get her feather tips out of her face, and the two females glare at each other. But before they could say anything else, Eduardo steps in and breaks the two apart for telling them to knock it off, leaving Blu and his children confused. Bia asks him what is going on and how she seems to know him so well.Tiago tells her that he was about to ask the same question as her, however Blu is baffled and as the argument between Jewel and Jasmine continues. Blu interrupts Eduardos attempt for answers for telling him and Jewel to let Blu handle this and confronts Jasmine himself. When Blu asks her why she did that to him, she rushes towards him by grabbing his shoulders, and asks him if he recognizes her. Blu lets go of Jasmines wings and shrugs his shoulders and says whether he should recognize her or not, totally baffled. But to everyone's shock especially Blu's and his family's when she says that she is Blu's long lost sister. Blu is surprised by this change of atmosphere and asks her if this is true, Jasmine answers yes and reveals that their family left them for reasons unknown to her, she mentions that she was left in a small nest near Rio, by her father only to find that her older brother was missing. Blu asks her about what happened and also asks her about the fate of their family, she tells him that their family are still missing and she doesn't know how it happened. Unfortunately Blu is upset about this and out of pity hugs his sister in a welcoming embrace. When Jewel approaches her reunited husband and his sister, she regretfully apologies for her actions telling her that she is Blu's mate and thought she was another Female friend of her mates. Blu informs Jewel that they are still chained to each other birds and the two nuzzle beaks, however Jasmine fumes over this as she is jealous that Blu already has a mate and yet she has no one, she fly's away tearfully only to find that Roberto is following her. Jasmine is tempted to get rid of Roberto but before she does, Roberto tells her that even though Blu has Jewel she can still find other Males in the Amazon besides her brother and says that he will be here if she needs it. Jasmine is touched by this gesture and hugs him, Roberto smiles triumphantly at her sudden openness and then flies towards his hollow. While there Roberto knows that he is developing feelings for Jasmine and realizes that Jasmine is his new Jewel (Juju), he sings a song about his sincere feeling, before setting off on his nightly patrol. Meanwhile Jasmine asks Eduardo if she can spend the night in one of the Macaws hollows before she can find her own. Eduardo them talks to Blu about having Jasmine spend the night in his families hollow to which Blu agrees but not before asking Jewel who agrees without hesitation.

As the sun starts to set upon the Amazon Rainforest Blu tucks his kids asleep and asks Jasmine what ever happened to her after all this time. She tells him that she spent her entire life alone after her brother went missing, she learnt to fend for herself in the jungles around Rio before falling out and living the remainder of her life in the Amazon but only when she reached a mature age. Blu talks about his early life and how he became a companion, Jasmine is intrigued by this and asks how it happened and when Blu finishes his entire story about Minnesota, his adventure with Jewel and the Amazon, Jasmine is amazed by everything he has achieved in his life. She asks if she will ever be accepted here to which Blu says she already has. She also asks her older brother if she will ever find someone like he has Jewel. Blu smiles and says she will never be alone for the rest of her life as she has him, a family and a tribe to support her, he then asks her if she knows someone by the name of Terrin to which she says she has no idea.Then Jasmine removes her eyes from her brother and puts a sad look on her face with tears, and when Blu asks her what is it. Jasmine tells him that it is like he's back alive and he doesn't know how much this would mean to their folks if they saw them, but it means to her as she closed her eyes and sniffs, Her brother tells her that it is okay with a smile. Jasmine then opens her eyes as she smiles back and comes to her older brother by putting him into a hug which surprises him a little, but smiles and hugs her back and she tells him that she is so glad he is back and that she has missed him so much with some tears coming out of her eyes. Blu tells his little sister that he missed her to, but it is okay and her brother has got her, Jasmine lightly chuckles and wipes her tears away. As they both continue to hug each other Jewel sees this and smiles to her self and says so Blu has a family member after all this time. She comes to Blu and his sister and tells them it is time for bed, Blu agrees and says goodnight to Jasmine which she says goodnight back to him and Jewel. The Spix Macaw family then fall into the land of dreams, happy that they are back where they belong. However Carla is still worried about Nico and Pedro and tries to think about where they could possibly be.

Meanwhile Terrin takes Nico and Pedro to an abandoned tribal ground on the outskirts of the Eastern parts of the Amazon which is full of other prisoned birds under the control of Terrin's forces. Terrin then forcefully demands answers as to the Spix Macaws whereabouts so that he can track down Blu and threaten his family to his please. Nico and Pedro refuse to give their location, however Pedro is less hesitant but for the good of his friends still refuses. Terrin reaches eye level with the samba loving birds and grips both their throats, suffocating them as he does so, he informs the two in a singing fashion about what will happen to them if they don't obey his orders and what he plans to accomplish for his empire in Brazil while mocking the two as he does so. Nico and Pedro look on terrified by his words, but still remain faithful to their friends, Terrin laughs hysterically, ordering two Military Macaws to stand guard over their cage to ensure they don't escape, Pedro whispers to Nico that Terrin is like a total nut job, Nico tells him that he is so scared of Terrin and Pedro nods in agreement. Out of options the two sleep throughout the night fearful of the outcome that may befall them and their friends in the Amazon Rainforest. The next day Roberto goes to Blu's hollow, Roberto wakes him up and asks Blu to follow him. When they land on nearby Brazil nut tree, Roberto explains that he is falling in love with his sister and asks him what he should do to get to know her more. Blu is surprised by this factor and tells him that he is sauve, the bird who is Mr perfect when it comes to Females, but tells him that he should get her one of the Brazil nuts, just like he tried with Jewel before the Unforetunate soccer match in the pit of doom. Roberto laughs it off and does so, he then wakes Jasmine up gently and offers it to her. Once again touched Jasmine accepts and gives him a small peck on the beck, he then flies off to fulfill his morning duties, leaving Blu alone with his family. Jasmine waves a wing goodbye to him and eats her breakfast. As Jasmine finished her Brazil nut she felt a small tug on her right wing, she looked down and saw Tiago and Bia. She say's hi to them which they say hi back to her. Bia tells her that she and her younger brother wanted to know if they could get to know you more as their new aunt. Jasmine smiles at this and say's yes and ask's them if we could go to the lake while they talk about each other. The two chicks agree and they follow her to the nearest lake. When they arrived Tiago ask's Jasmine how she ended up in the jungle alone, she tells him that she and her older brother (Blu) were just young kids about their age (Bia and Tiago) they used to live in the wild and that was the thing she liked in her life, but when their father left us in the city of Rio she was left alone in small nest and she had no one else to look after her and not even a mate. The kids were finding this sad, but she tell's them it was good because she was reunited with her brother yesterday before Roberto and Mimi found her in the eastern area of the jungle. Tiago and Bia were stunned by this and Bia tell's her new aunt that was amazing. Jasmine smiles at them and tell's them she know's, and Tiago also ask's her where she got the necklace around her neck. Jasmine tell's him and Bia that her mother gave to her as a gift and her mother told her that it was one of the animal specie totems that they wear when they are welcomed into the tribe. The kids were finding it very amazing and Tiago tell's her that was amazing, she know's and if they find her mother and if she likes them and their sister she can give the kids some totems too. She also tell's them they look so cute with those brown eyes and they are the same which made the kids giggle and blush alot and they came up to hug their aunt. Tiago tell's them he has to go have fun with his friends and Bia does the same, they wave a wing good ye to Jasmine which she did the same. Jasmine then sighs alittle and sings a song about her feelings for love. Meanwhile Carla who is still concerned about Nico and Pedro informs her father (Blu) about their disappearance several hours ago and tells him that they should of arrived yesterday to no avail. When Blu then tells her that they are still probably held up on their journey but Carla tells him that she is still worried, Jewel sees this and attempts to sooth her by telling her that Nico and Pedro are never late for a party and she agrees to what her mother is saying. However Blu believes that Terrin is behind it and has a small panic attack concerned that his friends could be in danger, he is persistent in attempting to free them if so. But Jewel dosen't want her mate to run into something that he is not prepared for, fearful for his life. When Blu tells Eduardo this he warns Felipe, the Red Macaws and the Blue Macaws about the possible threat made by Terrin two days ago back in Rio that could possibly threaten his family, his daughter, his son in law and even his tribe and humbly asks Felipe and the rest of the tribe for their assistance and in return would help their tribe when needed. Felipe accepts Eduardo's proposal and the two friendly clans join forces once again in order to save their friends from this cruel, tyrant. Before Blu leaves Jasmine shows up wanting to help him in the rescue, but Blu says that he doesn't want his family in danger as he cannot live without any of them in his life, Jasmine is reluctant but agrees with him and tells her brother to becareful and Blu tells her he will, and the two share a hug. Roberto comes up to them and tells Blu that they have to go and get their friends, Blu nods to him and tells his sister that he will be back and for that Blu and Roberto fly off with the others.

As the birds attempt to free their friends from Terrin. Linda, Tulio and Fernando observe their findings and discover that a small colonel of Blue Macaws have been killed East of the Amazon, Linda is fearful of this demanding that they save Blu, Jewel and his family before it's too late. Tulio assures her that their section of the Amazon is safe as it is part of the new sanctuary, however Linda is still unsure about the the fate of Blue Macaws living in the Amazon and tells Tulio that something terrible is happening out there, something that they are unaware of possibly something that could disrupt their lives in the Amazon. She tells Tulio that she has to see the family of Macaws desperate to be reunited with Blu after so many months, Tulio agrees and welcomes Fernando to come along with them who agrees so that he can see what they have been up to. As they set off in the Blu Bird sanctuary helicopter, Blu leads the search party with help from Roberto, Eduardo and Felipe throughout the Amazon, when they finally find the abandoned site Eduardo orders a group of Blue and Red Macaws to follow his lead and Roberto's around the area as a diversion, while Blu and Felipe direct a second group to move in and hold off the forces until Blu and Felipe can unlock the cages holding the birds. All goes well until Blu reaches Nico and Pedros cage to find Terrin already waiting for him in the tree tops, he tackles him unprepared and attempts to kill Blu. Unfortunately Felipe notices this and saves Blu, Felipe tells Terrin to leave his friend alone and slightly injures Terrin's upper back, but the damage only aggrivates him further. He throws Blu away and assaults Felipe by pining him down and pressing him on his chest creating a double blockage for air, as Felipe starts to lose consciousness under the mercy of Terrin. Eduardo orders his group to retreat but before he does so he sees Blu in bad shape, struggling to save his friends and instantly helps him out, but when Blu says to save Felipe, Eduardo is shocked by this and tells Blu that he will not leave him to Terrin's mercy. Blu stumbles in pain after his harsh fall from Terrin and orders Eduardo to save Felipe before falling unconscious, Eduardo tries to wake Blu up for telling him don't do this to him, but remains unconscious Nico gets Eduardos attention which worked when Nico says that they do not have much time before Felipe loses conciousness, he tells him to just get them out of there and get Blu back to the tribe, Eduardo then looks down at blu as he was beaten up as blood was coming out of his beak. This angers Eduardo and say's okay to them and save's his friends and with help from Roberto weakens Terrin to release Felipe from his vice grip. Felipe say's thanks to Roberto, but when they both see Blu unconscious, Roberto tells them they have to get him out of here and for that Eduardo carries Blu with his talons in Blu's shoulders. The birds make a Hasty retreat before Terrin's orces catch up too them. After the rescue, the remaining Blue Macaws in the sanctuary rush to the scene. When Jewel, Jasmine, Mimi and the kids see Blu severely injured on the ground on the right side of his stomach which Eduardo standing right in front of him being bandaged up by leaves. They rush too him and when Jewel comes to him, she tells Blu to wake up but no answer is received. Jasmine hugs Roberto as she saw her older brother lying on the ground unconciouse, it was a sad moment. Until they hear him moaning, Blu opens his eye's seeing Jewel in front of him. everybody was surprised even his family, and when Blu tries to get up he still felt the pain. Roberto comes up to Blu and helps him up with his right wing around him say's up he goes, he lifts him up and lets go of Blu. Blu coughs a little, then he met a hug from his mate. At the same time Nico and Pedro show up to thank Blu and the other birds for the rescue attempt delighted to be back, but when they see Blu. Pedro tells him that they are sorry for putting him and his family in danger, but Blu tells them that friends and family are more important than him. Rafael arrives with Eva telling him that what he felt in his heart was the right thing to do, to which Blu says that it's his duty to protect those he cares for the most. That night Jewel convinces Blu that he doesn't need to protect his family as she believes that their children can look after themeselves, Blu tells her that there are many dangers out there in the Amazon and that family is family and must stay together no matter what. Jewel argues that even though Blu might be thinking with his head, he is not thinking with his heart by letting the children explore the wild without their parents safety, they need to fend for themselves. Blu is strict on this concept and tells her that he lost Jasmine at a young age, he lost his family and almost lost his friends and that even if Jewel is telling the truth he insists that the kids still need protection from the dangers beyond the sanctuary. Jewel argues back by saying that his heart is not what it used to be and says that even though her life had been saved years ago during the plane incident she insists that Blu look out for himself instead of his children's lives because sometimes she fears for him and expects Blu to do the same to himself and not always to her and the children. She does tell him however that he needs to decide what is right, and that she doesn't want to lose him as she still loves him but he needs to know what is right in his heart and not his head. She flies away leaving Blu heartbroken.

Blu then makes the decision to leave Jewel and the kids behind and decides to find out where Linda and Tulio are the following day. The next day Linda, Tulio and Fernando arrive close to the sanctuary and locate the tribe. Unforetunetly, Tim discovers the Spix Macaw hideout thanks to the forces tracking the helicopter. He tell's Terrin that they found Blu and it should give them the chance to begin the attack. Terrin evilly smiles at this and say's excellent now is the time since Blu is at his weakness he will have his vengeance. Terrin then order's Tim to prepare the military macaws and plans his attack when Blu is at his weakest, by attacking those who he loves the most. When Linda, Tulio and Fernando see Blu they are happily reunited with each other after so many months, the reunion is short lived however when they hear loud assult calls coming from the East of the sanctuary, Blu realises that it is Terrin and his army of Military Macaws preparing for a major assult on the tribe. Without a moment to lose Blu tells Eduardo that Terrin is coming and quickly prepares his tribe to go into hiding with the remainder of them ready to fight for the jungle. When the military macaws arrive to see none of the blue tribe out, Tim tell's them That they better give Blu to them if you surrender there will not be any attack. Roberto shouts to the army telling them that they do not trust them laying a wing on Blu, This angers Tim and shouts out by saying attack. The battle has the Spix Tribe highly out numbered, until Felipe arrives with the red Macaws and the remainder of the Blue Macaws determined to defend their homes and their lifestyle. Fernando tries to attack Terrin, but he scratches the poor child in the eye as Fernando's eye colour from blue to red. Linda says that it's just a cut from the kid's eye then they here a storm ahead of them. Tulio tells them they need to get down to safety. Roberto instinctively saves Jasmine from a military macaw before it suffocates her, Jasmine assists him while in the chaos and Felipe and Eduardo hold off more and more of the intruders while tending to their tribe as they are being attacked from all sides. After the battle Terrin reveals himself before Blu (who was still looking at him with an angry look as he was in front of the others), Jewel, Jasmine, Eduardo, Roberto, Mimi their family and their friends who again mocks them for their attempts to stop him. He then spots Jasmine among the crowd who realises that Blu is not his only threat, as Jasmine is a part of Blu's old tribe, he bravely approaches Blu and his friends, coming up to Jasmines eye level who tells her that she, Blu, their family and every other Spix Macaw will suffer for everything they have done to him. When Blu asks why with an angry manner, Terrin tells him that his plan was to conquer Brazil but his plans were foiled by Blu's parents who lead a small group of Blue Macaws a long time ago. When Blu angrily asks what happened to them, Terrin merely laughs at him and tells him that if he wants to seek answers, he and his family are to follow him to the Eastern areas of the Amazon Rainforest. They obey and their family and friends follow, but first Eduardo tells his tribe to stay here. Felipe tells his friend that he watched Eduardo's flock before and he will do it again with a brave tone. Eduardo then tells his grandchildren to stay here, Tiago tells his grandfather that he and his sisters will be fine. Eduardo nods to his grandson and they fly to the eastern jungle. When they arrive Terrin sits above the trees and in a mocking and superior manner tells them that a long time ago Terrin had a family, one that loved him very much. But when he tried to rise to power he lost everything thanks to Blus parents. They later told Terrin's parents what he was planning, which would eventually end up in total control of his society. Terrin saw a threat to his plan and lost everything, his parents banished him from his kind and he became an outcast. Because of this he saught revenge on them and the remaining Spix Macaw tribe. But Terrin was robbed of his chance to kill them all as their father escaped with his children taking them far away from his reach and saving them by giving them the chance of a new life in Rio. Terrin hatefully admits that Blu and Jasmine are the son and daughter that escaped from him many years ago thanks to their father and the fact that this place used to be their old home which shocks Blu that he was infact born in the amazon instead of Rio. Terrin claims that their father tried to stop him but failed miserably, savoring the end of life. He then tells Blu and Jasmine that he will offer them only one chance to go home and join their kind and forget everything or stand by his words and be killed. Blu and Jasmine think over Terrin's confession to which Jasmine tells her brother that they better do what Terrin say's, but when Blu suddenly gets angry and shouts at Terrin by saying no which makes him and everybody confused especially Jewel. When Blu says that if he lets everything go now no one will ever be safe, his friends will suffer and his loved ones will suffer, he then tells Terrin that no matter what anyone else may think of him he will do it not only for his family but also for himself. Terrin says that he is foolish for thinking so and that he will die at his hand, preparing to kill him. As Blu fights Terrin, Jewel is tearfully touched by Blus words and rushes to try and help him but Terrin prevents her from doing so by rushing behind Blu and knocking Jewel out, Blu watches in horror from what has happened and calls out to Jewel. Blu tries to get to her but a number of Military Macaws step in his way and one of them hits him in the middle, Terrin than orders them to finish him off so they did. As the macaws reached Blu he was trying all his hardest to fight them but when one of them stabs his talons in Blu's lower back area,he screams in pain and falls to the ground, and the military macaws start to punch him up. As the battle continues Jasmine watches in horror at her older brother being killed by the military macaws and rushes to help him, but Roberto stopped her as he grabbed her by saying no. Jasmine turns around and she tells him that the military macaws are going to kill Blu and she can't see him like this. Roberto tells her that there are to many of them and the won't stand a chance. Terrin tells his army that should do it, they stopped and went off of Blu as he was beaten up. Terrin comes up to Blu and says look at the bird and tells him he thought he would stand against him and his army pathetic. He then evilly smiles and asks Blu to lay there and watch while they finish his family. Terrin was about to come up to them, but was stopped as he saw Blu's right wing grabbing his leg looking at Terrin with an angry look and tell's him that he will not hurt his family. Blu throws Terrin at a tree hurting his back, and gets up looking at Blu with anger. When Blu tells Terrin that he is not going to walk away from this, Terrin say's he has no time for this game (Brother my brother Blessed by union of souls starts to play). The two birds charge at each other, while at the same time Roberto, Jasmine, Rafael, Nico, Pedro, and Luiz fight off the military macaws while Eduardo fight's Tim and Mimi looks after an unconscious Jewel. Terrin was about to punch Blu, but he grabs his left wing and successfully injures his wing, but is pushed forcefully away and then tackled on. Blu kicks his stomach and gets up as Terrin did, when Blu asks him why can he not just give up and let everything go, Terrin snarls at Blu saying that he has ruined everything he has tried to accomplish ever since he started to rise to power, and hits Blu yet again. Terrin than grabs a sharp stick and tries stab it in Blus chest but, Blu claws Terrin's face reveling a scar. Blu than hits Terrin's face and grabs his left wing and injures. It just as it seems as he has already won, Terrin smirks at his prey and tells him he should never be underestimated especially by a pet. He pins Blu down brutally and laughs manically to himself before saying to Blu that when he becomes ruler he will kill all who he has ever loved and that your father would be disappointed in him if he saw his son now. Blu went wide eye and screams out of hatred and pushes Terrin off of him who then injures his back on a tree branch, Blu then spots a jungle vine and grabs it and hesitantly ties Terrin up while he is unconscious as the song (Brother my brother) ended. With the battle over Terrin regains consciousness he realizes that he is decapitated and falls to the ground with a sickening thud incapable of getting back at Blu. in one last attempt Terrin attempts to kill Blu and after being weakened by a now conscious Jewel and her mate, he finally swears vengeance on Blu and his family saying that only he knows Blu's purpose in life, only he knows Blu's real name giving by his father. He then warns Blu that his kind will never be safe with him alive. Ever! While Blu is still full of hatred and anger he spots a tree close to a river bed (still with water in it) fifteen feet below. The anger in him grew bigger and says this is for his family. Blu then flies to Terrin and grabs him by the throat with his talons, and flies faster. He throws Terrin at the tree causing him to injure his back (again) and most of his body, and screams in pain. Blu lands on the side of the cliff and watches Terrin falling into the river while he is screaming and splashes into the water being washed away. As Blu still felt the hot anger inside of him standing on the side of the cliff slowly breathing up and down, he then changes his mad face into a sad expression and closes his eyes and remained silent with his head down. While he was still standing sadly in silent Roberto, Jasmine, Eduardo, Jewel, Mimi, Rafael, Nico, Pedro, and Luiz quickly went behind Blu to make sure he is alright. When Roberto asks Blu if he is okay, upon receiving no answer Blu slowly opens his eyes revealing tears about his old family and his past for what Terrin did all those years ago and remembers now. he lifts his head up as tears were flowing out of his eyes and recloses them again and puts his left wing to his face as he sniffs a little, Eduardo then puts his right wing on Blu's right shoulder and tells him that his family would've been proud if Blu did this for them and he also say's they understand. Blu whips the tears from his eyes and felt a hug from his mate and hugged back. When Blu say's they should go home now they understood and The group leaves the area and flies back home where they belong, while flying back Jewel looked at Blu with a sad look as she noticed there were tears in his eyes still flowing out and wipes them away with his talons, she was sorry for him. When they arrived everybody was happy to see them. Felipe greeted Eduardo and Roberto for telling his friends that he is glad to see the two again, As for Carla, Bia, and Tiago quickly hugged their parents ( Tiago and Bia for Blu and Carla for Jewel) that they were happy to see them still alive. But although everything was fine Blu was still sad about his family. When Jewel asks him if was okay, he answers yes and tells her that he is just glad that their all back home and together again. the blue and red tribes, especially Blu and his family were smiling, Jewel on the other hand spoke to Blu that she is very proud of him for what he said to Terrin and she also says that she's really sorry she left him heartbroken. But Blu tells her that he had to do it for himself and not for his family and it was all because she was right, Jewel smile's at Blu and hugs him even his family and friends.

That night and after Blu's injuries had been recovered (except by the fact he still has his lower back injury, Nico and Pedro celebrate the Brazilia festival in Rio, throwing off a huge party for the jungle animals. Blus family and friends celebrate together knowing that the sanctuary in the Amazon has been saved, however Blu is still uneasy about what Terrin said to him. He asks Jewel if she believes he was telling the truth about his family and his purpose. Jewel insists that even if Blus parents and siblings are presumed gone, she tells him that he is still part of their family and that he will never be left alone for the rest of his life. She tells him that the clan is there for him, Linda and Tulio are there for him and that he has her and the family to support him whenever he needs it. Blu nuzzles Jewel and reminds her that even though he knows of the truth about his past he realizes that he still has her and the children and promises to cherish that forever, but promises to let them explore the outdoors but just to make sure they are still safe, Blu tells the kids to visit him and Jewel occasionally to which they agree. Blu and Jewel then kiss lovingly (which made the kids disgusting noises) and celebrate together with their family and friends during the Brazilia festival in Rio,and dance the night away in harmony. Meanwhile Linda, Tulio and Fernando are seen living out their happy lives in Rio, Terrin is found by Linda and Fernando and is taken to the same sanctuary confinement containing both Nigel and Gabi. Nigel approaches Terrin and tells him that this enclosure is his and his alone and that Terrin should go elsewhere or he will face horrific consequences at his hands. Terrin jumps onto a nearby rock coming eye level with Nigel and tells him that he is the cruel tyrant and that he should be the owner of the artificial enclosure, insulting him of his victorian vest. Nigel merely laughs and retaiates by saying that he is the stink of failure as he is so short. The two continuously argue over the rights to artificial enclosure and in the background Gabi sighs and says that Nigel is soooo cute when he argues like that. Meanwhile Blu, Jewel, Rafael, Nico, Pedro, Eduardo, Mimi, Roberto, Jasmine, Stacey, the Blue Macaw clan and the Red Macaw clan continue to celebrate together in the bustling city of Rio as a fully united family. After the main credits we see a mysterious female (very beautiful and she has three hair similar to Blu's on the top and several flattened hair similar to Bia's on the back, rings around the white in her face and she was wearing a totem carved in the shape of a blue macaw) with a very small group of Spix Macaws who were also wearing totems around their necks in south Brazil, the female senses that her son and daughter are still alive somewhere and orders the tribe to go out and find them(Foreshadowing the events of Rio 4)and they set off to find her children.

When Blu meets Jasmine/Roberto sings a song
Eduardo: Thanks for watching over my tribe Felipe

Felipe smiles

Felipe: Your welcome Eddie, that's what friends are for. Well I better get back to my group before they get worried sick about. See ya guys.

While Felipe left Jewel turns to around to see another female spix macaw among them as the tribe comes to see the new comer.

Eduardo: "What's going on here?"

One of the solder macaws lands next to Eduardo.

Male macaw: "Roberto and your sister found this girl with our human friends."

Eduardo: "What?!"

Eduardo asked disbelief and than confronts the new coming with angry look and lands in front of her.

Eduardo: "And who are you young lady?"

He asked before he flies infront of her.

Jasmine gasps

Eduardo: "Now! now! don't get to scared on me, because that is not an appropriate answer, I just asked you a question. Now where did you come from, and what is your name?"

Jasmine: "I'm Jasmine, you are?"

Eduardo: "I am Eduardo, leader of the tribe."

He than moves aside.

Eduardo: "This is my close family: allow me to intontroduce you to my son-in-law, Blu, my daughter Jewel, and my Grandchildren: Carla, Bia, and Tiago. If ever you need any help you are welcome to ask them."

Jasmine than removes her eyes from Eduardo and looks at his family with her eye's half closed. However when Jasmine sees Blu she is dumbfounded and recognizes him when she was just a chick. Blu is creeped out by her shocked look and comes up to her.

Blu: "What's wrong?"

Blu waves a wing in front her face two repetitively and finds the same expression, and steps back a little.

Blu: "Um, are you okay?"

Upon receiving no answer and after a long moment silence, Jasmine than approach's Blu and hugs him delightfully.

Jasmine: "Oh Blu I.... I would never thought I'd see your face again."

Blu: "What?"

Jasmine than lifts her head up and kisses his left cheek, but when Jewel sees this she puts an angry look on her face and comes up the two.

Jewel: "Hey! Back off this my handsome man!"

She said as she pushes Jasmine to the ground. Jasmine than gets up and she puts an angry look on her face.

Jasmine: "Hey, what's your problem?!"

Jewel than comes up to her.

Jewel: "Listen you pretty bird! I'm the only who kisses Blu's cheek, and he is my mate. You can't steal him from me."

Jasmine: "Wait! you don't understand! see Blu is my-"

Jewel: "I don't care! Just stay away from my husband!"

She said as she pointed her right wing at Jasmines face which turns into an angry expression.

Jasmine: "Get that feather tip out of my face you little pervert!"

The two simply glare at each other, but before they could say anything else Eduardo steps in and breaks the them apart.

Eduardo: "Alright you, two knock it off!"

He said sternly while Blu and the kids were getting confused, and Bia comes up to her father.

Bia: "Um dad?"

Blu looks at his younger daughter.

Bia: "What's going on and how does this girl seem to know you so well?"

Tiago comes up to his sister.

Tiago: "I was about to ask the same question as you Bia."

However Blu is baffled and slightly mad and as the argument continues, he sighs annoyingly and face palms himself with his left wing before he comes up to them.

Jewel: "I'm telling you for the last time stay away from my--"

Jewel was cut off as she saw her mate coming in front of her and Eduardo.

Blu: "Eduardo, Jewel let me handle this."

He said as he confronts Jasmine himself with an angry look.

Blu: "Why did you do that to me Jasmine? I mean that was weird."

Jasmine is shocked by this and rushes to Blu and by grabbing his shoulders.

Jasmine: "Don't you recognize me Blu?!!"

Blu lets go of her wings and shrugs his shoulders.

Blu: "Should I recognize you or not? Because I'm totally baffled, just tell me how you know me so well."

Jasmine: "I *sighs* Look guys.... I'm Blu's long lost Sister!"

Everybody including Blu and his family gasps in shock, as everybody beginnings to mutter each other with surprise. Blu is surprised by this and comes up a little bit to his Sister.

Blu: "Is... Is that true? Are you really my Sister?"

Jasmine: "Yes and our parents left us for reasons. I was left in a small nest by my father only to find that you were missing Blu."

Blu: "Well what happened than and where are our family?"

Jasmine puts a sad look on her face.

Jasmine: "Our family is still missing brother and I don't even know how it happened."

Unfortunately Blu is sad by this and out of pity hugs his long lost Sister.

Blu: "Well, welcome to the tribe sister."

They break the hug and look into each others eyes, and Jewel approach's her reunited husband and his Sister in a guilty way.

Jewel: "Hey guys, listen Jasmine I'm sorry about my actions for telling you that Blu is my mate and I thought you were a female friend of Blu."

Then she puts her head down, and when Blu sees this he comes in front of his beautiful mate.

Blu: "Hey Jewel, look at me honey."

He said as he lifts her chin with his right wing and they both look at each other.

Blu: "We're still chained to each other birds and I still love you."

He said with a smile which Jewel did the same.

Blu: "Now come on give me some sugar okay?"

Jewel: " *chuckle* Okay sweetie."

She said as they both nuzzle each others beaks, however Jasmine steps in and breaks them apart.

Jasmine: "Blu! I can't believe this!"

Blu: "What?"

Jasmine: "You already have a mate and I don't have anyone!"

Jasmine flies away tearfully and wipes the tears from her eyes. She then lands on a tree branch and sobs a little

?: "Hey Jasmine !"

Hearing this she turns her head to see that Roberto has followed her.

Jasmine: "Leave me alone Roberto! Just go away!"

However before she dose Roberto comes up to her.

Roberto: "Listen Jasmine just calm down and listen to me."

Jasmine: "What?" she asked as turned around to face him

Roberto: "Look Jasmine, even though Blu has Jewel, you can still find other males in the amazon besides your brother and I will be there when you need it."

Jasmine is touched by this and hugs Roberto which surprises him, and smiles triumphantly.

Jasmine: "Thank you Roberto that's nice."

She than flies away as Roberto waves a wing for goodbye, and goes to his hollow before setting off on his night patrol. While there Roberto is developing feelings about Jasmine and realizes that she is his new Jewel (Juju) and sings a song about his feelings about love.

Blu and Jasmine's conversation
As the morning starts to set upon the trees Blu tucks his kids into bed as he looked at them with a smile.

Blu: "Good night kids."

He said as he gave them a nuzzle on their heads which made them giggle and fall alseep, after that he than puts a empty look on his face and looks at Jasmine as she did the same and Blu lands on the ground and comes up to her.

Blu: "So whatever happened to after all this time sister ?"

Jasmine: "I spent my whole life alone after you went missing Blu. I learned how to defend myself in the jungles around Rio before falling out and living the of my life in the amazon. But only when I reached a mature life."

Blu talks about his early life and how he became a companion, Jasmine is intrigued by this and asks how he ended up in the Brazil and when Blu finishes his entire story about Minnesota, his adventure with Jewel and the Amazon, Jasmine is amazed by everything he has achieved in his life.

Jasmine: "Will I ever be accepted here Blu?"

Blu: "You've already have."

Jasmine: "Will I ever found someone like you that has Jewel?"

Blu smiles at her.

Blu: "You will never be alone for the rest of your life Jasmine as you have me, a family and a tribe to support you when ever you need it."

He then removes his smile.

Blu: "Do Know someone by the name of Terrin?"

Jasmine: "That I don't know who he is."

Then Jasmine removes her eyes from her brother and puts a sad look on her face with tears as she was facing the left side of the hollow, Blu was looking worried and confused.

Blu: "What? What is it Jasmine?"

Jasmine then opens as tears were coming out of her eyes and looks at her brother.

Jasmine: "It's like you're back alive Blu, and you 'sniff' you don't how much this would mean to our parents but it means to me 'sniff'."

Jasmine then closes her eyes and sniffs a little. Blu smiles at this and pats her back with his right wing.

Blu: "Hey, hey it's okay, Jasmine everything is fine."

He said as he stops patting her back. Jasmine then opens her eyes and looks at Blu and formed a smile on her beak. She then comes up to her brother and hugs which surprises Blu a little, but hugs her back with a smile.

Jasmine: "I'm so glad your back Blu."

She lightly nuzzles her head against his puffy neck as she was still smiling and opens her eyes as her face was next to Blu's neck.

Jasmine: "I really missed you big brother."

Jasmine then recloses her eyes again and rests her chin on her brothers shoulder rests her head on the side of his neck.

Blu: "I missed you to little sister, but it's okay: I'm back and I got you."

Jasmine: "'Chuckles' thanks Blu."

Jasmine then lifts her left wing and wipes the tears away from her eyes. As both Blu and Jasmine continue to hug each other Jewel sees this and smiles to her self.

Jewel: "So Blu has family member after all this time and he didn't even know."

She than comes up to them and the two look at her.

Jewel: "Guys it's time for bed now."

The two agree with her.

Blu: "Goodnight Jasmine."

Jasmine: "Goodnight Blu, goodnight Jewel."

Jewel: "Goodnight Jasmine."

The spix macaw family then fall into the land of dreams, happy that they are back where they belong.

The killing/after the rescue
All goes well until Blu reaches Nico and Pedros cage to find Terrin already waiting for him in the tree tops.

Terrin: "There you are Blu!"

Terrin tackles Blu unprepared and attempts to kill Blu. Unfortunately Felipe notices this and saves Blu.

Felipe: "No! Leave my friend alone!"

slightly injures Terrin's upper back, but the damage only aggrivates him further. He throws Blu away and assaults Felipe by pining him down and pressing him on his chest creating a double blockage for air, as Felipe starts to lose consciousness under the mercy of Terrin.

Eduardo: "Alright Everybody move back to the sanctuary now! We're going--"

However when Eduardo see's Blu in bade shape struggling (by crawling on the ground with his right wing) to save his friends while groaning.

Eduardo: "BLU!"

He then flies down to help him save his friends.

Eduardo: "Hold on! I'm coming."

Blu: "Eduardo no, save Felipe."

Eduardo turns to see Felipe loosing conscious, Eduardo is shocked by this and turns to his son in law.

Eduardo: No Blu! I will not leave you to Terrin's mercy!

Blu stumbles in pain after his harsh fall from Terrin.

Blu: "S-ave- Felipe...."

He then goes unconscious and Eduardo tries to wake him up.

Eduardo: "Blu! No come on! wake Up! Don't do this to me!"

?: "Eduardo!"

Eduardo turns his head to Nico and Pedro.

Nico: "We don't have time before Felipe suffocates! Just get us out of here and get Blu Back!"

Eduardo then looks down at Blu as he was beaten up as blood was coming out of his beak. This angers Eduardo.

Eduardo: "Okay!"

He then sets them free the two free and with help from Roberto weakens Terrin to release Felipe from his vice grip.

Felipe: "Wheew! Thanks Roberto."

Roberto: "No problem Felipe."

Their attention turn to Blu who was very injured.

Roberto: "Come on ! We gotta get Blu out of here!"

Eduardo carries Blu with his talons in Blu's shoulders. The birds make a Hasty retreat before Terrin's forces catch up too them. After the rescue, the remaining Blue Macaws in the sanctuary rush to the scene. When Jewel, Jasmine, Mimi and the kids see Blu severely injured on the ground on the right side of his stomach which Eduardo standing right behind him. They rush too him and when Jewel comes to him.

Jewel: "Come on Blu, please wake up!"

No answer received.

Jasmine hugs Roberto as she saw her older brother lying on the ground unconciouse, it was a sad moment. Until they hear him moaning, Blu opens his eye's seeing Jewel in front of him. everybody was surprised even his family, and when Blu tries to get up he still felt the pain. Roberto comes up to him.

Roberto: "Hey Blu."

He then takes Blu's left wing and puts his right wing on Blu's back.

Roberto: "Come on buddy: up we go."

Then they both get up.

Roberto: "There you go."

Roberto then lets go of Blu who then bents and groans in pain and coughs a little as Roberto puts his right wing back on his friends back (right before he lets go of Blu as Eduardo was about to help him but was stopped by Mimi who block his way with her wing). Blu puts his right wing on his head, and rubs it. Blu then looks at Roberto.

Blu: "Thanks Rob."

Roberto smiled at the nice nickname his friend gave him.

Blu then met a hug from his mate releaved that he was okay which he hugged back.

Blu versus Terrin/Terrin's end
Terrin: "That should do it boy's."

The military macaws obey and went off of Blu as he was beating up. Terrin comes up to Blu and goes to his left side.

Terrin: "Well look at the bird. So you thought you would do this alone to face me and my army?! pathetic. Now why don't lay there and watch while I finish your family. Ha ha ha ha!"

Terrin was about to walk to Roberto, Jasmine Eduardo, Mimi, Jewel (as she was unconscious), Rafael, Nico, Pedro, and Luiz but was stopped as something grabbed his right leg.

He looked back at Blu as Terrin noticed that Blu had his left wing gripping his right leg and Blu looked at him in anger.

Blu: "You will never touch my family again!"

Blu threw Terrin at a tree and groand in pain and gets up and Blu comes five feet from him as the storm was still going on. The two looked at each other with angry looks as a lighting stroke.

Blu: "This is it Terrin! You are not going to walk away from this!"

Terrin: "I don't have time for this game Blu!"

The two birds charge at each other.

(Brother my brother by Blessed union of soul's starts to play)

While at the same time Roberto, Jasmine, Rafael, Nico, Pedro, and Luiz fight off the military macaws while Eduardo fights Tim and Mimi looks after an unconscious Jewel. Terrin was about to punch Blu, but he grabs his left wing and successfully injures his wing, but is pushed forcefully away and then tackled on. Blu kicks his stomach and gets up as Terrin did.

Blu: "Why can't you just give up let everything go?!"

Terrin: "You have ruined everything I have tried to accomplish since I started to rise power!"

Terrin said a snarl tone and he hits Blu yet again. Terrin than grabs a sharp stick and tries stab it in Blus chest but, Blu claws Terrin's face reveling a scar. Blu than hits Terrin's face and grabs his left wing and injures. It just as it seems as he has already won, Terrin smirks at his prey.

Terrin: "I should never be underestimated! Especially by a pet."

He pins Blu down brutally and laughs manically to himself.

Terrin: "When I Become the ruler I will kill all who you have ever loved and that your father would disappointed in you if he saw you right now."

Blu went wide eyed and went angry.

Blu: "I am not a pet!"

Terrin: "Pretty strong word for a pet."

He said in a mocking matter.

Hearing this Blu immediately lost his temper and screams out of hatred, and pushes Terrin off of him who then injures his back on a tree branch, Blu then spots a jungle vine and grabs it and hesitantly ties Terrin up while he is unconscious as the song (Brother my brother) ended.

With the battle over Terrin regains consciousness he realizes that he is decapitated and falls to the ground with a sickening thud incapable of getting back at Blu.

In one last attempt Terrin attempts to kill Blu and after being weakened by a now conscious Jewel and her mate.

Terrin: "I will now finally swear my vengeance on you Blu and your family too! I only know your true purpose in life and your real name giving to you by your father. Your kind will never stay alive Ever!"

While Blu is still full of hatred and anger he spots a tree close to a river bed (still with water in it from the storm that was still going on) fifteen feet below. The anger in him grew bigger.

Blu: "This... is for my family."

Blu then flies to Terrin and grabs him by the throat with his talons, and flies faster. He throws Terrin at the tree causing him to injure his back (again) and most of his body, and screams in pain. Blu lands on the side of the cliff and watches Terrin falling into the river while he is screaming and splashes into the water being washed away.

As Blu still felt the hot anger inside of him standing on the side of the cliff slowly breathing up and down, he then changes his mad face into a sad expression and closes his eyes and remained silent with his head down.

While he was still standing sadly in silent Roberto, Jasmine, Eduardo, Jewel, Mimi, Rafael, Nico, Pedro, and Luiz quickly went behind Blu to make sure he is alright.

Roberto: "Blu? Are you okay?"

Upon receiving no answer Blu slowly opens his eyes revealing tears about his old family and his past for what Terrin did all those years ago and remembers now. He lifts his head up as tears were flowing out of his eyes and recloses them again and puts his left wing to his face as he sniffs a little, Eduardo then puts his right wing on Blu's right shoulder.

Eduardo: "Your Family would've proud if you did this for them Blu."

Blu still has his eye's closed still with tears in his flowing out.

Eduardo: "We understand son."

Blu opens his eye's and whips the tears from his eyes, and felt a hug from his mate and hugged back.

Blu: "We should go home now guys."

they understood and The group leaves the area and flies back home where they belong, while flying back Jewel looked at Blu with a sad look as she noticed there were tears in his eyes still flowing out and wipes them away with his talons, she was sorry for him and starting to feel guilty about their argument they had.

End credits/ sending the tribe out
After the main credits we see a mysterious female blue macaw ( pretty beautiful and had the same hair style of Blu's feathers on the top of her head and Bia's on the back of her head white in her face with blue rings going across and her eye's were a type of forest green while wearing a necklace around her neck carved into a shape of a blue macaw) with a very small group of Spix Macaws ( about fifty five of them) in south Brazil.
