Rio - Linda Gunderson (Leslie Mann) is Blu's former owner and best friend. She formerly lived and worked in the Blue Macaw Books store in Moose Lake, Minnesota, and now lives and works in the Livraria Blu book store in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. As a little girl, Linda discovered a crate containing Blu (a baby Spix's Macaw) which had fallen out of a pet store truck in the middle of the road. She takes the scared and cold chick in her hands, and promises to take care of him.
