According to one of the producers, the movie has entered the story board stage, with two scenes involving Blu and Jewel's children having been mapped out, revealing that two of the chicks are female and one is male. Business Wire and ComingSoon.net also revealed the plot of the movie, which Blu, Jewel and their three kids leave their domesticated life in the magical city for a journey to the Amazon rain forest. When they arrive they come across Jewel's long-lost father Eduardo who is in hiding with a tribe of other Blue Macaws. At first everything seems perfect but Blu is having trouble fitting in. Things get worse when they discover that the Amazon is under threat and that Blu and Jewel's old enemy, [[Nigel]] the cockatoo is back for revenge.
