@Phil - From Script to Screen - Updated Story Idea

Premise:

In a tropical society of bird like people, a young child prodigy must fight against the ongoing discrimination present there.

Logline:

Faigel is a smart girl living in a tropical society of bird like people. Unfortunately this society has become subject to discrimination. Can our hero help the citizens to look past their differences to create a better future?

Quick Breakdown of story: (not a step outline yet)
   
   Notes:
         - The society has different facilities for people with different color feathers. so the societies classes all have access to different things. (similar to racial segregation). for example: different cafes will only accept a specific feather color, same with shops and markets. This will be reflected in the environment as signs in front of buildings with the specific feather colors.

Faigel lives her life chastised by society for the color of her feathers, sick of her friends and family being limited to what they can do in life, she takes a stand with the intention of bringing people together and tearing down the walls of the discrimination. At first people are skeptical, but she soon makes new friends with people of different feather colors. However she is reported to the authorities, and knowing she has no chance turns herself in to protect her friends. Her friends in turn stand with her, not letting her take the blame alone. Despite now being in jail, she has learnt a valuable lesson. Happiness isn't by what you have access to in life, it is the friends and family you have with you.

I'm not sure if this is the right way to end it, so any alternate endings or notes will be welcome.
