Humans are aggressive towards avians, hunting them down and causing them to go nearly extinct. Phil, Techno, Wilbur, and Tommy all hide their wings, and live a nomadic lifestyle to make sure no one realizes their species.

They are currently in the marketplace a small village. They don't plan to stay for long, they’re just stopping by to stock up before going on their way. Phil and Techno are buying necessary supplies, while Wilbur and Tommy are nearby and wandering from stall to stall.
