It tells the story of a young flutist indigenous who asked the God Tupã to transform him into a bird so that he could be close to his beloved, the wife of the Cacique. However, the hunters, motivated by his vibrant colors, started to hunt him. So he decided to take refuge in the forest, but returned every morning to sing and charm his beloved with his exuberant song. According to legend, his singing is a message to the God Tupã to grant the wishes of pure-hearted lovers.
