Pedro

Bio

Pedro and Nico meet and befriend Blu when he first arrives in Rio de Janeiro. They give Blu advice on how to attract Brazilian ladies. Pedro then tries fruitlessly to bust Blu out of his "robust" cage, without success. Pedro, Nico, and Blu meet again in a marketplace where Rafael takes Blu and Jewel to see Luiz, where they inform the trio that Luiz has gone back to catch a trolley to his garage. As they meet in the marketplace, Pedro teases Blu about Jewel, believing that his and Nico's advice worked. Pedro and Nico then lead Blu and Jewel to the Samba Club. Once inside, Pedro and Nico begin to sing "Hot Wings (I Wanna Party)." After the song, the birds are attacked by the marmosets, who were hired by Nigel. After Pedro kicks off the fight by yelling "BIRDS VS. MONKEYS!", he and Nico use grapes to hit the marmosets, eventually allowing themselves, Blu, Jewel, and Rafael to escape onto a trolley (actually, Kipo gives them a lift there, but Pedro, Nico, and Rafael follow them eventually), where they set off to Luiz's garage. On the way, Rafael decides to "set the mood" for Blu to confess his love for Jewel. Pedro tries to set the mood with a rap called "Drop It Low", but Nico, being the emotional singer, stops Pedro, and proceeds to sing a mood-setting song entitled "Fly Love" while Pedro plays the trolley's cable strings like a guitar. Throughout the song, Blu blows up the moment by saying all the wrong things, which leads him to be choked by a flower petal. Noticing this, Pedro stops Nico from singing.

Bio

The group meets with Luiz, who turns out to be a bulldog. Luiz tries to break the chain by using a table saw. Everything goes wrong, but in the end, Blu and Jewel are freed from their chains, all thanks to Luiz's drool, which lubricates the chains. After Blu and Jewel have an argument because Rafael tells them to be completely honest with each other, culminating in Blu saying that he hates samba, Nico cries. Pedro comforts his friend, telling Blu, "That's a little too far". Nico hardly believes that Blu said it out loud. While crying, he tells Pedro, "Make the mean bird take it back!" After Blu and Jewel part ways, Rafael gives orders to Pedro and Nico to go after Jewel while he himself follows Blu. Nico and Pedro follow Jewel and witness her being captured by Nigel. They later report back to Blu and Rafael, telling them what had happened. Soon after, the group goes to the Carnival parade to look for Jewel. Luckily, they find her in a "weird chicken float", which is in reality the Smugglers' Float. However, Nigel manages to capture all of them. Later, while in The Smugglers' plane's cargo hold, Blu manages to escape from his cage. He then frees Jewel, who helps him free the remaining birds. Blu then opens the plane's hatch, which leads to the escape of all the birds who have been captured by the smugglers. At that point, Pedro shouts "FREEDOM!" as all the birds fly away. Later, during the "Real in Rio" song, Pedro is shown celebrating in the Blu Bird Sanctuary, created by Linda and Tulio.

Appearance

Pedro is an obese, Red-crested Cardinal, who has dark grey feathers, white neck/nape & underside, a redhead with crest hair & upper chest which forms an upside-down triangle, silver-grey bill, and dark legs.

Personality

Like Nico, Pedro is a handsome, nice, outgoing type of bird. He's very brotherly when it comes to his best friend Nico. A master when it comes to music, he loves to party and likes to samba. He can be a bit dim at times when Blu told Nigel he had "three of the toughest, meanest, craziest birds in all of Rio" right behind him, Pedro (unaware Blu meant him, Nico and Rafael) thought he was talking about some other birds. Nevertheless, he's a bird with plenty of spunk and an awesome sense of adventure.

Relationships

Nico Pedro and Nico are the best of friends and they are always looking out for each other. They also share a hobby of singing and dancing to samba music. In Rio, they were fighting the marmosets together, which shows that they do look out for each other. The two share a close friendship with each other and are never seen apart during both movies. They also own a Samba Club together.

Relationship

Blu Pedro has a lot of respect for Blu after they first met on top of Blu's portable cage and after giving him the advice to attract Jewel. Pedro was a bit surprised when Blu said he hated samba, but he quickly forgot that and helped him rescue Jewel. In the sequel, he and Pedro give Blu advice when he starts to worry about losing Jewel to the call of the wild.

Relationship

Jewel Nothing special is seen between Pedro and Jewel, other than Pedro agreeing with Nico about Jewel's appealing figure. They seem to get along well.

Relationship

Luiz Pedro was friends with Luiz before he ever met Blu or Jewel, so in the case given, he never really disliked Luiz. But when Luiz did a prank attack by jumping out and chasing the birds, they flew away as if they had never met him.

Relationship

Rafael Pedro, Nico, and Rafael have always been great friends, Rafael refers to Nico and Pedro as "family." It seems like Pedro knows Rafael from the old days since they have nicknames for each other such as Rafi to Rafael (As seen in the Samba Club).

Relationship

Bia, Carla, and Tiago Although his interactions with Bia and Tiago aren't shown very often, the kids have a close relationship with him and Nico (Rafael as well), calling them all uncles in the Rio: Snakes Alive! novel. Out of the three, Carla seems to hold Pedro (and Nico) in the highest regard, changing her mind about not going to the Amazon when she learns he and Nico are going. She also assists them in scouting for talent once they get there.

Relationship

Eduardo Addressed as "city boys" by Jewel's father, Nico and Pedro are allowed to be in the jungle. However, Eduardo tells Nico and Pedro that they can't take any of the tribe out of the jungle. Eduardo also takes Nico's bottlecap hat away, as the item is human. After the loggers are driven off, Nico, Pedro, and Eduardo (along with Mimi, Rafael, Carla, Bia, and Tiago) do a victory cheer together. At the end of the movie, Eduardo (who is now wearing a fanny pack, just like Blu) gives Nico his bottlecap hat back.
