Mavis is a normal teenager but with a unique connection with birds. On her 13th birthday her grandmother reveals that like each female in the generations before Mavis, it is her destiny to develop the abilities of the birds she loves. To a shocked Mavis, Grandma explains that these abilities were given to a descendant back in the 15th Century for her bravery, by an Incan chief whose life she saved when the Spanish Conquistadors were invading and plundering the Incas gold. The chief gave her two gifts. A magical bracelet made of gold and gems, telling her that she and her descendants must always wear it to access the powers and a gold statue, that would link them to the Incas. Mavis's ancestor was sworn to secrecy and so began the story of generations of women fighting against evil. With Grandma's guidance and the help of a cheeky Macaw sidekick called Jervis, Mavis soon has the powers of the birds of the world including flying as fast as a Peregrine falcon at 300kmh, magnifying sound like an owl and mimicing as perfectly as the Superb Lyre Bird to help her, as she begins her adventures
