Jewel and Blu from the movie "Rio" are Spix Macaws. Not to be confused with blue and gold macaws or hyacinth macaws, Spix macaws are very endangered in captivity and appear to be extinct in the wild.
I think the rarest parrot is the Spix Macaw. The last one in the wild that is known of died in 2000. It is a pretty blue color. There are around 80 captive birds around the world that are being bred to keep the population growing. There also may be some unsighted wild birds. Hope this helps.

Not all parrots eat the same foods, but the Blue and yellow macaw feeds on seeds, nuts and fruits as many other parrots do. This particular macaw is known to be fond of fruit from the Jabillo tree, while its very strong beak is used to crack Brazil nuts.
A macaw is a prey not a Predator, in the wild macaws are food to Birds of prey like Falcons and Eagles and when an injured macaw falls in the river, a school of Piranhas will rush quickly and slice it into pieces. But their biggest nightmare are HUMANS.
The majority of macaws are now endangered in the wild. Six species are already extinct, and Spix's Macaw is now considered to be extinct in the wild. The Glaucous Macaw is also probably extinct, with only two reliable records of sightings in the 20th century. The greatest problems threatening the macaw population are the rapid rate of deforestation and the illegal trapping for the bird trade.
