Author Notes

I cheated a little because there is only one mouse; the other one is a meerkat. The meerkat is the one on the right side. Note that the two animals have different shaped-heads.
Even if you are an adult in age, the movies 'Rio' and 'Rio 2' are a fun watch. The movies are loosely based on a real life story about a captive Blue Spix macaw that lives in America that needs to return to Brazil to repopulate the species.
Here is an internet synopsis of the 2011-released Rio movie:
Captured by smugglers when he was just a hatchling, a macaw named Blu never learned to fly and lives a happily domesticated life in Minnesota with his human friend, Linda. Blu is thought to be the last of his kind, but when word comes that Jewel, a lone female, lives in Rio de Janeiro, Blu and Linda go to meet her. Animal smugglers kidnap Blu and Jewel, but the pair soon escape and begin a perilous adventure back to freedom.
