* FreezeFrameBonus: During the kitchen scene, brief clips from ''WesternAnimation/IceAgeContinentalDrift'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Epic}}'' appear on the [=TV=] screen.

* CaptainErsatz: Averted this time around. Whereas in the first movie, Blu and Jewel were referred to as Blue Macaws, here they're called "Blue Spix's Macaws". It implies that Spix's Macaws come in some other color, but accuracy-wise, it gets the job done.

* TheAmazon: Naturally.

* TelevisionGeography: Carlos Saldanha admitted that for the sequel, he put many parts of TheAmazon that are spread apart close together for the narrative's sake.

* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: The logger's mischievous monkey, as a NonHumanSidekick.

* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: Heavily implied with [[spoiler: Gabi]] dragging [[spoiler: Nigel]] off into the jungle for "romance."

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: You can technically handle poison dart frogs all you like and be perfectly fine. It's not until the poison touches a mucous membrane or an open cut that it actually takes effect. Dart frog deadliness also varies from species to species

* DisneyDeath: PlayedForLaughs with [[spoiler:Nigel. Gabi accidentally fires a [[PoisonedWeapons poison dart]] tipped with her own toxins into Nigel (she was aiming for Blu), at which point Nigel gets a dramatic death scene complete with falling into a bed of flowers and Gabi [[LargeHam hammily]] proclaiming she will go with him and swallowing a drop of her poison. Blu and the other birds then arrive at the scene and clap at the ''fantastic'' performance. Bia then remarks that Gabi is not actually poisonous, but a species of frog mimicking such.

* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: A bit of an overarching problem; Jewel spends a majority of the movie ignoring or belittling Blu's opinions, making their family's decisions for him and accusing him of being selfish when he tries to stand up for himself. Supposedly, this is because Blu is a [[NervousWreck perpetual worrier]] who's afraid of new things, but if the roles were reversed, it'd come off as very sexist. Likewise, Eva's overbearing nature towards Rafael carries over from the first movie, but none of her softer, more comprising moments.
