of Blu’s voice caught Nigel’s ear. There they were, flying into the distance, a blue blur against a blue sky. “They’re getting away!” Nigel shrieked, slapping Charlie. “Wake up, you insect-eating idiot. Follow them!”
    Charlie twisted his tongue into a corkscrew and used it in the water to propel them upriver.
    â€œBetter,” Nigel snapped, shaking some water off his wings. “Now go ten times faster!”

    Farther down the river, a base camp for a massive logging operation was being set up. A motorboat had pulled up to it, and a man dressed in a white suit, a white fedora, and expensive leather shoes alit onshore. He was the big boss of the camp and he did not look happy.
    He walked into a tent where a group of loggers and a monkey were playing cards at a table. They were so engrossed in their game that they didn’t notice him. But when he stabbed a knife in the table, they did.
    â€œHaving fun?” the boss asked as the monkey dropped his cards and scampered off. “Here’s something fun.” He threw a newspaper at the foreman. On the front page was a photo of Linda and Tulio under the headline Rare Birds May Be Found?
    â€œIf those tree huggers find their birds, they’ll bring in the authorities,” the boss said angrily. He ripped up the paper and stomped on it, furious. “And that will make me very, very unhappy!”
    The loggers all looked at one another. No one dared breathe. No one wanted the boss to be unhappy.
    The boss smoothed down the lapels of his suit and adjusted his hat. “I want those trees cut. Clear this area. You don’t want to see me unhappy, do you ? ”
    And with that, he walked past a map of the forest and out of the tent.
    Â 
    Linda and Tulio had the same map pulled up on their tablet. And right now they were in the middle of studying it. It had been divided into quadrants. “Okay, we covered areas A and B. So I think we should continue with—” Linda thought out loud, tapping the map with her finger.
    Tulio couldn’t hear her. He had on headphones and was busy holding up a microphone to record bird sounds.
    â€œGwak! Gwak! Gwak!” he squawked into the forest, hoping to get a response back.
    â€œTulio, are you listening to me?” Linda asked, exasperated.
    Â 
    â€œYou have reached your destination,” intoned the GPS.
    Blu looked at the others. “You see? It worked like a charm,” he said proudly. “Here we are!”
    â€œUh . . . where?” Carla deadpanned. They were standing in the middle of an empty clearing.
    Blu began pressing buttons. “Oh, these things have a margin of error.”
    Jewel eyed the GPS. “I told you not to trust that woman.”
    Meanwhile Bia and Tiago wandered off into the brush after a caterpillar.
    â€œOooh! That’s a Heliconius larva,” Bia said. “It feeds on rotting fruit.”
    â€œYeah, me too!” Tiago said as they disappeared from view.
    â€œHey kids! Kids! Stay close!” Blu called out.
    â€œI’ll get them,” Jewel said, flying off.
    â€œOkay, you guys stay put,” Blu told his friends. “Um, I’ll look around.”
    â€œNo worries, we’ll be here,” Rafael said, indicating Nico and Pedro. “We’re not going anywhere.”
    But Nico and Pedro looked worried. “My feathers is poppin’ up on the back of my neck,” Pedro said.
    â€œI don’t like this,” Nico said.
    â€œNuh-uh,” Pedro said with a shiver. “Let’s back it up. Beep. Beep. Beep. ” He mimicked the sound of a truck in reverse.
    Blu flew off to a nearby tree. Pushing through some leaves, he gazed around. All he could see was thick jungle. “Come on, lady,” he told the GPS. “Help me out here.”
    â€œLost signal,” the GPS beeped.
    Blu groaned. “Great.” He flew back to the clearing, but to his surprise, everyone
