The strong wind blew my small frame backwards as I entered Rio. My golden yellow feathers were tossed back while I tried to fly past the hard winds. Another gust of wind pushed me back hard into a large tree, and my vision went black as I slid down the tree.

I am smaller than yellow canaries, and my eyes are two different colors, one is a silvery gray and the other is milky brown. The feathers on my head are tossed over my brown eye. My silky feathers are a golden yellow color. I have two younger siblings, a brother named Jackson who has bright yellow feathers and a black feather lightning bolt over his right eye. His eyes are ocean blue and he is super outgoing. The other is a little girl that is completely black other than a yellow splatter spot over her left eye. She is very shy and silly.

It was dark out when I woke and my back was pressed against the hard tree, my right wing hurt so much. I looked up and tried to open my wings but I couldn't because of the pain. I stand up and yell out for someone. Suddenly 3 little faces appeared in front of me, slowly I backed up against the tree as they neared me. Three little toucans look down at me and one bites off some off my feathers. I jump up and scream as feathers slowly drift to the ground. I hear wings flap and I see a large toucan grab the birds. He walked near me and I grabbed my hurt wing, eyes filled with fear.

"Hey, are you ok, sorry about my kids" the toucan said.

"What? I'm fine" I sequel, backed up against a tree.

He takes me to his nest "you can sleep in my nest tonight I'll show you around tomorrow" he says as I shrug my shoulders and follow him to his nest.

It was early when I woke and looked around thinking everything that had happened was a dream. I see that I'm in a large nest and toucans covered the ground below me. I scream and try to exit the nest without hurting my wings but end up waking the toucan who's name is Raphael.

"Oh hey Maddie, what are you doing up" he asked while standing up.

I laugh "um how 'bout that tour" I ask rubbing my neck.

"Sure come on, I want you to meet some friends" he replies, grabbing me and taking off into the sky.

Soon we arrive at a market place, I look around confused as he heads to a tarp. He pulls it open, lights, music, and birds filled the area. I stood in shock as Raphael sets me down on the floor. Two birds stood on stage while singing and dancing, one was a robin, and the other, a yellow canary. Raphael pulls me up to the stage and pushes me next to the birds.

Raphael looks at me "Maddie this is Nico and Pedro, guys this is the new bird, Maddie" I smile at them.

"Ok but can she sing" Nico asks looking at me.

"Uh sing, I don't know think so," I whisper.

"Come on I'm sure you'll be great" he says as he started to sing.

There's a place way down in Bed-Stuy,
Where a boy lives behind bricks,
He's got an eye for girls of eighteen,
And he turns them out like tricks

I went down to a place in Bed-Stuy,
A little liquor on my lips
I let him climb inside my body
And held him captive in my kiss

And there's a storm you're starting now
And there's a storm you're starting now
And there's a storm you're starting

I'm a wanderess
I'm a one night stand
Don't belong to no city
Don't belong to no man
I'm the violence in the pouring rain
I'm a hurricane
Ha ah ah ha ah ah ah
I'm a hurricane
Ha ah ah ha ah ah ah
I'm a hurricane

I went down to a place in Brooklyn
Where you tripped on LSD
And I found myself reminded
To keep you far away from me

And there's a storm you're starting now
And there's a storm you're starting now
And there's a storm you're starting

I'm a wanderess
I'm a one night stand
Don't belong to no city
Don't belong to no man
I'm the violence in the pouring rain
I'm a hurricane
Ha ah ah ha ah ah ah
I'm a hurricane
Ha ah ah ha ah ah ah
I'm a hurricane

He says, "Oh, baby, beggin' you to save me.
Well, lately I like 'em crazy.
Oh, and baby, you could devastate me.
Little lady, come and fade me."

I'm a wanderess
I'm a one night stand
Don't belong to no city
Don't belong to no man
I'm the violence in the pouring rain

Come and fade me
Come and fade me
I'm a hurricane

Nico and I finished the song and I smiled before rushing off the stage. Everyone was cheering and I was bright red.

I run into Pedro "hey Maddie you were great" he says.
