The MagiCal SeCret of the
Martinosa Rainforest
Just before you fall asleep, when everything slows down — a soft tapping at the window. Not loud. Not urgent. Just enough to be noticed.
Join Sophia, Bembem, Lelo and baby Theo on unforgettable adventures through faraway lands filled with mystery, courage and magic — and discover the Magical Secret of the Martinosa Rainforest.
A rainforest like no other — glowing with the colours of a thousand crayons, full of creatures, whispers and things that cannot quite be explained.
Blue-and-yellow macaws can live almost as long as a human — up to 80 years in captivity. In the wild they live around 30–35 years. ARI could be your friend for your entire life!
Macaws can solve puzzles, use tools, and recognise themselves in mirrors. Scientists compare their intelligence to young human children — which is exactly why ARI feels so real.
A macaw's beak can crack open Brazil nuts — something no other animal can do. It's like having industrial pliers built into your face, which is very useful in the rainforest.
Macaws see UV light — completely invisible to humans. Flowers, feathers and fruits glow in secret patterns that only ARI can see. The world literally looks different to him.
Once a macaw finds a partner, they stay together their entire lives. They sleep side by side, share food and preen each other every single day. No exceptions.
Blue-and-yellow macaws are among the world's best talkers. Some learn over 100 words and actually use them in the right context — not just repeating randomly.
This is mind-bending: ARI's blue feathers contain zero blue pigment. The colour comes entirely from the feather's microscopic structure bending light — like a living prism.
By eating fruit and flying far, macaws drop seeds across the forest — planting hundreds of trees in a lifetime without knowing it. ARI is secretly one of the rainforest's most important gardeners.
Parent macaws make soft special sounds to their eggs before the chick can even hear. Researchers believe this helps bond parent and chick before birth.
In Brazil, the Blue-and-Yellow Macaw is called Arararuna — a word from the Tupi indigenous people meaning "long black parrot." The Tupi lived alongside these birds for thousands of years.
