Felipe is a male Scarlet Macaw, and is the leader of the Red Macaw Tribe. He has been described as a tough bird who doesn't like strangers, and is fiercely territorial of his home.

He is a minor antagonist, later befriended by the Spix's Macaw Tribe at the end of Rio 2 , after fighting the loggers to help the spix's macaw tribe, and is voiced by Philip Lawrence.

Bio

The Red Macaw and Spix's Macaw Tribes both have their own side of the Brazil Nut grove, since the nuts are running short. They both also have a rule of no trespassing into each other's territories. Felipe, however, likes to come close to the division to fool around with Eduardo, who is strict about the rules and doesn't think his games are funny at all. When Blu accidentally trespasses into the Red Macaw tribe territory, Felipe and some other red macaws confront him. After Blu accidentally hits him with a branch, Felipe, angry, sees it as a opportunity to turn things around, and sets up a challenge; a soccer match at the Pit of Doom to decide who gets control of the entire Brazil Nut grove.

During the game, Felipe is very brutal and knocks out other players, while still being agile and scoring for his team. It is clear there's a rivalry sparking between him and Roberto, with both of them fighting at all times for the possession of the ball. When Blu accidentally scores the winning goal for the Red Macaw tribe, Felipe mocks Eduardo for this, his tribe now possessing the entire nut grove.

Later on, the Red Macaw tribe comes to help the Spix's Macaws fight the loggers. They use the Brazil nuts as a weapon, throwing them at the people and machines (interestingly, in real life, a Brazil nut can kill if it falls on a person). He also works together with Roberto to scare them away, showing a possibility of improvement in the tribes' relationship.

The Red Macaw tribe is also seen dancing along with everyone else during the "Amazon Untamed" show, which may also suggest their rules of no trespassing has been reformed or even that Felipe has decided to share the grove with the Spix's Macaw tribe again.

Personality

Felipe is very proud of being from the Amazon, and is protective of the area of the jungle his tribe lives in. He is strongly opposed to strangers trespassing on his territory. Felipe likes to mock and intimidate, and he rarely resorts to peaceful resolutions. He's also very aggressive in soccer games, and knocks other players out. He usually speaks in rhymes

Appearance

Felipe has red plumage, with yellow and blue wing feathers. Felipe has white facial markings around his eyes, on his cheeks and under his beak, which is white and gray like all Scarlet macaws. He has a short feather ruffle on his head. Felipe has green eyes.

Relationships

Eduardo

Felipe likes to taunt Eduardo, calling him "old Eddie," and edging close to the divide between their tribes, simply to get a rise out of him. After Blu accidentally wins the game for the red macaws, Felipe mocks him further, saying the blue macaws will have to start "a nut-free diet." He and his tribe later show up to help fight the loggers, showing that they at least share a common goal in defending their home.

Roberto

Felipe and Roberto are rivals in soccer, staring each other down, and leading their teams in intimidation routines. They constantly battle over the ball, each taking it from the other several times. After the red and blue macaws succeed in driving away the loggers, Felipe shares a triumphant chest bump with Roberto, suggesting that their rivalry has dissolved, or has at least become more friendly.

Blu

When Felipe first meets Blu, he mockingly calls him a "sidekick," then asks Eduardo if Blu is his nurse. When Blu unwittingly trespasses onto red macaw territory, Felipe is angered (Even moreso when Blu accidentally hits him in the face with a tree branch). During the soccer game, he takes the ball after it bounces off Blu's head, smugly thanking him for the "pass."
