Stone birds

In a world of birds, birds of all shapes and sizes, an African grey parrot named Streak was raised on the very real stories of the stone birds.

They say that stone birds get tested for stone potential at a very early age. Some even get tested as eggs. But Streak can't know what is real and what is fantasy, as only birds of high status can be tested. None in her little town of Pitchwood has even considered it a possibility. In fact, none really thought much of the stone birds at all, since none really saw them, and for Streak they were the least of her worries.

All African grey parrots have red tails, but streak was named for the streak of red wing-tip feathers she possesses. Her classmates tease her relentlessly for it. On top of that, her mother had to raise her alone since her father disappeared when she was an egg. The only thing going for her seems to be her speed and agility.

But everything changes for Streak one day when her and her mother find themselves right in the middle of a shadow-bird attack. Streak is in awe as the stone birds come to the rescue, but what will happen when Streak and her mother are called to the palace to witness for the battle's biggest tragedy?

A crazy adventure for Streak, that's what.
