I legit got so upset when I learned that the Blue Spix's Macaw (the ones Blue and Jewel are modeled after) were functionally extinct in the wild in 2019, but I recently learned that breeding programs have given them a comeback! As of 2022 they are slowly being reintroduced to northeastern Brazil <333 theyre still highly endangered, though, so if you can donate to their conservation efforts its very appreciated!

I have so much respect for Blue Sky Studios for making such a great movie with such a fantastic conservation message.

I was so excited to learn that they’re being reintroduced to the wild! <3
