      @Dein Silver Drac What show? The person you responded to said a children's movie. The movie they refer to is called "Rio," which was released in 2011. The movie spread some awareness about the Spix's Macaw being nearly extinct, and therefore, many people focused on possibly increasing this species of birds.

      Yes my mistake
      But no the movie was not here to spread awareness about the situation and did not help at all as far as i know.
      The only effect of this movie was making some people realise
      Ho wait blue macaw doesn't exist.
      Ho wait it's inspired from Spix macaw who are extinct in the Wild.
      Ho wait parrots came from poaching, nah that's just a kid story they are breed in captivity.
      It's not like save Willy wich actually saved keiko the orca and spread awareness and helped to make people realise
      Maybe putting the most intelligent and sensible animals of the ocean, a 9 meters apex predator in a gold fish tank to be a slave for our entertainment was not the best Idea.
      Rio didn't try to spread awareness, did not helped or gave money or anything.
      They created a child story about something similar.
      And didn't even showed spix macaw but a New specie that they invented and put a parrot as the big Bad guy in a love story between two blue macaw.
      Poaching is nearly a background thing.
      The story and morale revolve around just that
      "Will those two character that don't have anything in common and hate eachother be in love, will blu learn to fly"
      Same for the second movie wich used a false morale on deforestation and only talk about
      "Ho man he is jealous of a handsome man better than him and is out of his element and can't get accepted by the family of his wife".
      That's all.
      Also
      Nope not at all, the captive breeding program was way older than that, they were still searching for the last individuals in cage of some random bird owner.
      So they could have enough individual to have a population that won't go inbred in 20 years.

      yes the macaw from this animated movie are inspired from them.
      but only inspired, in the movie they just look like a Hyacinth macaw, only slighly smaller, withouth the yellow and a lighter blue colour.
      while in rality they are quite different, smaller, with lighter greyish head, they don't have the long tail or same profile.

    Those birds are similar Blu and Jewel from the movie Rio. I’m proud that the macaws are returning home where they truly belongs. Welcome home Spix Macaws. Let’s hope there will be no hunters, smugglers, poachers, loggers, or building people to destroy their land because that is the Spix Macaws home.

      They are similar because this beauties are the same species as Blu and Jewel!
      And don't worry, theit habitat is under protection and of all the spix macaws that were set free only one has died, not because a hunter but because a bigger bird. So they are going really good

      Not few hundreds like the Spix macaw.
      So we should take their DNA and work on cloning technologies and maybe that in few decade they will be cloned.

      wrong
      it's the same specie
      it's just that it was declared extinct.
      but only in the wild, there was still few individual in captivity and zoo have tried to find them all (they were kept as pet by people like most parrots)
      i think there's 200 of them in captivity
      most of them in zoos like germany but not acesible to the public.
      there's only two zoo who present those birds.
      one in China and one in Belgium (this one) and now they stopped showing them to the public and prepare their reintroduction.
      the zoo name is Pairi daisa, the most beautifull zoo of Europe (really, there's cascade, temples and houses of ddirerent cultures around the world created by natives guys, a lot of rock and plants, and a lot of animals too, including several pandas, gharial, giant chinese salamanders, walrus, condor tasmanians devil and the largest elephant herd of Europe).
      it's not the best zoo of Europe, only the prettiest.
      and the pairi daisa fondation have several conservation project, including the Spix macaw one, they built a breeding and reintroduction center to prepare the bird to be left in the wild.

      Europe is the most crowded continent for it's small size.
      500 millions people only with UE.
      It's mostly cities and rural area
      With a lot of empty biodiversity poor wood.
      And few forest and mountains.
      There's barely no wilderness.
      Unlike IS wich destroyed the nature at massive scale for 300 years.
      In Europe we destroyed nature for thousands of years.
      Auroch (large wild cow) and wild horse, wild donkey, leopard disapeared form Europe.
      And bison, wolves, lynx, moose, brown bears are only few thousands at most.
      And almost went extinct in the last century.

    If the needs for this bird must be extremely specific, how can a reintroduction to the wild be successful?
