Birds of a feather solve crime together in this exciting middle grade mystery! When eight endangered macaws are stolen from a bird sanctuary in the Mayan ruins of Copan, four sleuthing cousins must find out who took them-and why.

Nico and his cousins don't have much in common, but they're all excited to visit the Mayan ruins at Copan and witness the release of the scarlet macaws. Nearly extinct in Honduras, eight of these majestic birds are about to be introduced to a brand new bird sanctuary. But on the eve of the big day the birds are stolen!

Who could have planned this bewildering bird heist-and why? Nico and his cousins are determined to find out-and anyone could be a suspect- poachers, developers, Mama's annoying novio . . . The investigation will take them from bustling downtown Copan to the mist-shrouded ruins of Macaw Mountain, uniting the cousins as they unravel a plot far stranger than any of them could have imagined.
