Birdboy's story
"One night, the young Gaylibri ran away from home and was lovingly taken in by a group of songbirds, the birds you hear singing here! From their old, wise leader, the Song Master, Gaylibri learned that it is good to find yourself and to dare to be who you really are. He also learned to fly because that is what faeries and birds do. With a lot of patience he was trained by the Song Master. He even taught him to sing beautifully! This sounded different from the real birdsong there Gaylibri had no syrinx, the special singing instrument of birds. Yet there was no Firefly Faerie in the entire area that could sing as beautifully as Gaylibri. The boy fairy stayed with the birds so long and sang with them so often that his face developed a bird's beak. .. Ultimately, Gaylibri overcame his fear of speed and height and was able to fly like the best!"
