The macaws in Rio and Rio2 were based on the Spix Macaw. The Spix Macaw, originally found in the Amazon (Brazil), has not been seen in the wild since 2000. Presley, above, died this past summer (2014). He was one of two known wild-born Spix Macaws. There are only about 100 left, bred in captivity, scattered around the globe.
Another extinction event.

Another advice for girls and young women: love and sex is supposed to be fun, happy and make your life better. If it’s not, if it’s making you miserable, if it’s making you love yourself less, if it’s making you doubt yourself, and if you feel like you have to sacrifice yourself or put up with things you don’t want to, you are absolutely entitled to throw it out from your life. In fact, you should, because your life is so, so valuable and you have the right to be happy. Being a girl does not mean having to accept misery and pain, even if that’s what we’re often taught. You are allowed to decide what comes into your life. Let it be happy and beautiful.

“I didn’t know I was riding a roller coaster that did not stop. When they told me life was full of ups and downs, I thought sooner or later I’d reach the top. But here I am falling through air, stomach in throat, and hands mingled with hair. I’ve never liked roller coasters very much, maybe because I’ve never had a hand to clutch. I’m choking on clouds and spitting up rain water, I’m starting to think delicate souls are born into this world for slaughter. But I’m trying to listen to the birds that fly by, they tell me “hold tight” whispering advice on how to survive. My only hope is that the sun will shine brighter each time I crest the top, and I’ll become mightier each time I brave the drop.”
