Since the weather had been getting better and not wanting to stay indoors all day long. Dritan had convinced to his mother that the zoo would be a good place to visit and to learn new things. Val had to think for a second as there wouldn't be too many places she could think of that his wings could get in trouble as long as they didn't get to close to were food was being served and it just might be a enjoyable trip.
"Ok Dri we will go but you have to try hard to keep your wings in line."
"I will try Mom." he answered excitedly as he wanted to learn about all the different animals he could especially about the animal is brother was and the friends that Drez had talked about what animal bases they had.
It wasn't too long of a car ride to the Zoo. Hopping out of the car as fast as he could and with his mother following close behind. With there tickets payed for as they stoped at the large map at the entrance as they planned on what animals they were going to see first. As well as he thought on what type of stuff animal he was going to bring his brother back as he couldn't come with them this time.

Ford had only ever been in a proper car once before in his life, so he spent almost the entire cab ride glued to the window, staring at the world as it zipped by. He had been on buses loads of times, but the novelty of being so close to the road and all alone - well, except for his dad and the driver - held the spawn's attention for quite a while. Eventually, though, Ford stayed true to the sin that bore him and drifted off to sleep, leaning against his father's side.
Sander gently nudged the boy as the taxi came to a stop. The last time they had ventured to the zoo, Ford had slept through most of the trip and Sander didn't intend for that to happen again. On top of that, even though Ford was thin, he was getting too big to carry. "Time to go in," Sander said softly, grabbing the sleepy child's hand and leading him out of the car.
Soon they were inside the gates as well, but Sander didn't steer them toward the map until Ford stopped in his tracks, eyes glued to Dritan's bitey wings. He knew enough not to point, but Sander could follow the child's gaze easily enough. "Cool," Ford said. His own wings flapped slightly as he stepped forward, staying just far enough away to be out of reach of the other boy. Those teeth looked sharp, and Ford was shy. Best to just look for now.

As they were planning on which animals that he wanted to see. All of his wings were takeing a look around the place themselfs. But it was his lower right wing, his mistevious wing that heard Ford and the flaping of his wings, as it had turned to look at Ford with its ears faceing forward with its nostrils flareing to catch his scent. It gave a little squeek as telling the other wings on what it spotted as the rest of them turned to see as well and gave there own squeeks.
Dritan turned around to see what they were all excited about. As he knew they couldn't be hungry as they had all eaten before they had left. Takeing one of them in his hand and tapping it on it nose. "You can't be hungry..." he said as he looked in the drection they were looking he spotted Ford and seeing that he was from the same place he was. "Hi, I'm Ciaran" he offered. "I hope that they didn't scare you," he said indicateding his wings."Now all of you be good," Dritan said in a stern voice to his wings as he didn't want Ford to get bitten by them.

"Not scared," Ford said, eyeing the chirping wings. He smiled. "Well, maybe a little." He looked up at Sander who waved the child on and gave him a gentle push forward. "Do they do what you tell them?" Ford asked. His own wings and tail did exactly what he wanted, but then again, they didn't have faces. "Oh yeah, I'm Ford."
Meanwhile, Sander busied himself by examining the large map Dritan and his mother had been looking at. He also picked up one of the smaller paper ones from the box underneath. It appeared they had an area devoted to birds of prey. Lizards, too. Considering how much certain parts of Ford reminded him of both of those types of animals, Sander thought it might be fun for the boy to see them.

All that Dritan could do was smile as he knew they could be scary, but they didn't hurt others unless it was the Techs as they didn't like those people at all and loved to bite them. "They won't hurt you. They might nibble but it really doesn't hurt," he said to reasure the other as he knew they wouldn't hurt Ford, but Dritan had been on the reseving end of the harder bited but only when he denide them food. "Sometimes they do, but when they want something they do what ever they want, especially when there is food present." he replied as his hungery one once again pulled on his sleeve and he reached into his pocket and gave it a bone and it happly munched on it. "Its nice to meet you!" as he gave a friendly smile.
"So what are you going to see first?" Dritan asked, as he and his mother really hadn't planed on where to go first exept avoid were the restrants were.

Ford smiled a little at the bone-chewing wing. It seemed that this child and his wings were content to eat all the food Ford himself was not. Somehow, that was comforting.
"I dunno what to go see," Ford said, turning back to his father. He had been to the zoo once before, but like so many trips he had taken as a toddler, he had slept through most of it.
"How about the aviary?" Sander suggested. "I hear the birds land on you sometimes." No need to start with the hawks and eagles first. Sander had a feeling Ford would just be wary of the bigger birds anyway. "Unless you think your wings might eat them?" he added with a kindly chuckle for Dritan.

"That sounds like fun!" Dritan said as his wings gave a little flutter as Dritan took control over his wings for a second. It was rare for Dritan to take control and he never really notused when he did. "I don't think they would eat them." he answered as the silly one just smiled widely. "Tho they might try and nibble them. But I really don't know." he answered with a smile and a giggle.
"No worries Dri, I will make sure if you can't to make sure they don't hurt the birds if they try to nibble them," Val said reasureing to her son.
"Thanks Mom! Come on Ford," he said running ahead slighty always looking back to make sure that he was heading in the right drection.

Ford smiled and took off after the smaller boy, always remaining under Sander's watchful eye. A short while later, they reached the aviary. From the outside, it looked like a screened-in dome with doors on opposite sides of its base. Each door was actually two, with a wall of plastic chains between them, to keep the free-roaming birds from escaping. The spawn looked back again for permission to go inside and Sander almost rolled his eyes. He was going to have to do something about his kid's politeness. The man nodded, giving Ford permission to go on ahead if he wanted.

Dritan was excited when he saw the aviary, as he could see on the outside the flashes of color flying around of the birds. As they got closer he looked back to his mother and saw that she nodded that he could go inside and before he went in he took a look at his wing to see what his wings were going. Right now they looked as they wouldn't cause problems. Getting to the door and opened it up for him and Ford. "After you," he said as he held the outer door open. He did it just incase his wings wanted to lash out and Dritan did want Ford to get bitten.

Ford nodded and ventured ahead, pushing the chains aside and entering the dome. A wildly splotched parrot of some sort swooped close before winging up to a branch near the ceiling where a row of birds watched the humanoids below. Next to the entrance was what looked like a kiddie prize machine, but instead of plastic eggs full of candy or finger puppets, it dispensed food pellets. So that was how to get them down! Ford would have to ask Sander to buy some for him, but for now he was content to look around and wait for the rest of the group to file in behind him.

Dritan followed close behind and lingered at the plastic chains as one of his wings had nibbled it to check out what it was and then figured it out that it wasn't something good to eat. Dritan looked all around as he saw all the color of the birds flying all around, it was a little too loud with all the birdcalls as all of his wings ears were pirked and trying to listen to everything in the room. He liked all the feather colors and found a few birds that had a simmular color to his own and to Ford'd feathers as well. After looking around he looked for Ford and went over to them and also saw the dispenser for the food. "So is that how we get the birds to come closer?" he asked and Val was also in the dome looking around and walking closer to were they were.
