One day, in late winter, ornithologist [[Tulio Monteiro]] invites Blu and Linda to Rio de Janeiro on the condition that Blu, who is speculated to be the last male of his species, mate with a female macaw. Linda accepts and they fly to Rio, where Blu meets a [[Red-crested Cardinal]], named [[Pedro]], and his [[Yellow Canary]] friend, [[Nico]]. Tulio explains that they have arrived during [[Carnival]], the biggest party in the world. At Tulio's aviary, Blu falls in love with [[Jewel]], a fiercely independent blue macaw longing to flee into the wilderness. The macaws are captured by [[Fernando]], an impoverished boy, and a [[Sulphur-crested Cockatoo]], named [[Nigel]], both of whom work for a group of smugglers led by [[Marcel]]. Marcel wants to leave the country as soon as possible to secure a black market deal regarding Blu and Jewel. Fernando is sent away by Marcel, and he starts to have second thoughts about his actions. After Blu and Jewel are locked up with many other captured birds, Nigel tells them that he vowed to smuggle exotic birds after his role on a television program had been replaced by one. However, Blu later uses his intelligence to open their cage and they escape. Nigel chases them, but they are able to flee into the jungle.

The three later meet Nico and Pedro. Meanwhile, Nigel hires a horde of thieving [[Common Marmoset|marmosets]] to capture Blu and Jewel.

However, the marmosets track them down and attack them. Their bird friends fight the marmosets, then the five are able to flee. Linda and Tulio are taken to the smugglers' hideout by Fernando. They notice that Blu and Jewel aren't there, and Fernando admits that he is the one who captured them. While Linda and Tulio hide, they hear Marcel's henchmen, [[Armando]] and [[Tipa]], explaining to Fernando that they will use the Carnival parade to hide the smuggling of the birds.
Meanwhile, Blu and the others meet Luiz, who releases the chain holding Blu and Jewel using his drool. After the two macaws get into a heated argument, they decide to go their separate ways, though they are both secretly sad about this. However, Jewel is ambushed and captured by Nigel. When Blu and Rafael learn from Pedro and Nico that Nigel captured Jewel, they rush to the Carnival to rescue her, while Linda and Tulio organize a rescue attempt for the birds.

Linda and Tulio pose as dancers in blue macaw costumes to find the smugglers hidden float. Meanwhile, Nigel uses Jewel as bait to lure in Blu and the others, and locks them all in cages. Marcel and the other smugglers arrive at the airport, load all the captured birds onto a Short SC.7 Skyvan, and take off. However, during the flight Blu escapes his cage, releases the captive birds, and lets them escape out of the plane. However, as Blu tries to get over his fear of flying, Nigel attacks him. Jewel tries to help Blu, but Nigel injures her. Blu manages to hook a fire extinguisher onto Nigel and sets it off, sending Nigel flying into the plane's engine, causing the plane to fall. The smugglers flee the plane. Unable to fly, Jewel slips out of the plane and falls towards the ocean. Blu jumps out of the plane to rescue her. He catches Jewel who calls him crazy for coming after her, but after he tells her that he won't let her go, Jewel realises that Blu loves her. Jewel then kisses Blu, which enables him to fly. Later, Linda, Tulio, and Fernando heal Jewel and organize a [[Blu Bird Sanctuary|sanctuary]] to protect the jungle from smugglers. Blu and Jewel become mates, raise three chicks, [[Bia]], [[Carla]], and [[Tiago]], together, and celebrate with their bird friends.
