My wife liked the movie but had some problems with it!

Rating: 7/10 (26 April 2011)

Rio is a good movie. I enjoyed the story, but my wife had a few problems with the movie. The writers and producers really should have talked to some parrot lovers before shooting the movie. My wife had issues with the way they represented parrots: 1. Parrots have 4 toes not 3 2. Never ever feed your parrot from your mouth; a parrot can die from the bacteria in a human's mouth 3. Serving hot cocoa to a bird; stupid!! Chocolate is poisonous to birds; it will kill them. 4. Cockatoos are not villains; they are comedians or love muffins, the toucan should have been the villain, toucans eat little birds in the wild not fruit loops! One can tell my wife wrote the middle of the review. She hopes that some naive owners will not try some of these issues with their parrots. It sent a bad message. The only good thing my wife liked was that they showed poachers in a bad light! In conclusion, a nice ending which was fun and entertaining. I give the movie 7 squawks out of 10.
