Rick and Morty
Season 2, Episode 10



This was the final episode for the season 2. It started like a special episode about the wedding between "Birdperson" and Tammy. Everything was OK, Rick finally felt in peace with his family and friends. However Tammy revealed she was an agent of the Galactic Federation and the wedding was a trap to catch Rick and his friends. That was very intense, Rick had to escape with his family while the Galactic Federation was attacking the place. Finally Rick had to take most important decision of his life, he turned himself to the Galactic Federation and all his family thought he left them.

This article is about Spix's macaw because now is confirmed extinct. The macaw is better known as Blu, the protagonist of the movie RIO. In that movie also treats this problem, that macaw is in danger of extintion. Its extinction is product of deforestation and uncontrollable agriculture.

Finally the article says that the movie RIO arrived to cinema eleven years late. Perhaps if the movie had arrived early, the macaw wouldn't have extinct now.
