Author's Note:
Hi! I am back after a short absence on this site with a brand-new story. When I wrote this first chapter, I wanted to make sure it was as perfect as I could make it before releasing it in FanFiction. So far, I think it's going really well, but I feel that I'm going to run out of ideas with the story at some point.
Some things to take into consideration:
This story was inspired by "A Reason to Live", by Fenix139 in the sense that it is a "Zootopia" scenario where there are no humans, just birds. This story uses a bit of railroad terminology that may not be familiar to most readers, so Google is probably your best method of figuring out what some of the words or terms in this story mean.
Some of the things to ignore or take into consideration for this story are the birds' lifespan. For the story's sake, the lifespans of each of the characters are equivalent to that of humans, meaning that when I wrote that a bird is 16 years old, for instance, it is a teenager, just like you or I was / would be. Diet is another. The characters in my story are omnivorous, but do not consume bird-based products (i.e. chicken, turkey, eggs) for very obvious reasons. Also, birds are not really meant to grasp things with their wings, but this is Rio, it's not that big-a-deal in my mind. The birds' postures remain the same as in the movie, only they stand slightly more upright to accommodate the more basic parts of the story (i.e. standing inside of a closed locomotive cab).
Other than that, I hope you all enjoy my new story. I've been thinking about this one since long before I joined FanFiction.
