Kipo (also known as the Spoonbill[2] in Rio 2) is a Roseate Spoonbill from the Samba Club. In Rio, he is voiced by Bernardo de Paula, who also voiced Sylvio. However, he is voiced by Jeffrey Garcia, the voice of Tipa from the first film, who also voices Peri in the second film.
Bio
Rio
Kipo is first seen shuffling along to the music when Blu, Jewel, Rafael, Pedro and Nico enter the samba club. During Pedro and Nico's song, he shakes a pair of maracas. Later, when Mauro taunts Rafael while attempting to get Blu and Jewel to come with him under Nigel's orders, Kipo tells him that if he messes with his friends, he messes with him. During the battle with the marmosets, he steps on several of them and even hits one riding on one of his bird friends with his beak, knocking him off. Finally, he helps Blu and Jewel escape by giving them a lift onto a trolley heading to Luiz's garage. Blu thanks him, and he replies "Anytime!" before flying away.
Rio 2
Kipo is first seen waiting to make an audition for Nico and Pedro's Carnival show. He boasts to his fellow auditionees about how he's going to be the "next King of Carnival", and steps inside Luiz's Garage, but slips on some of Luiz's drool and falls. At the end of the movie, he is seen arriving in the Amazon, bringing Luiz along just in time for the "Amazon Untamed" show.
