## **Biography**

### **Early life**

Winona Sparrow was born on 24 November 1965, in London, UK, to two very wealthy parents. She was raised mostly by her strict nanny as both of her parents had very busy lives, however Winona still managed to keep a healthy relationship with both of her parents. Her family kept a private collection of dinosaur fossils, which her father was very fond of.

In 1974, Winona's father died of skin cancer. After her father's collection was taken away to a museum, she decided to honor her father in her own way, by starting "a collection of whatever animals evolved from dinosaurs". At the age of ten, she received her first bird, a barn owl.

### **Career as bird keeper**

Through the connections of her parents, her talent and the money she inherited from her father, she became a successful falconer. Her stunning looks made her very popular. At some point every celebrity wanted her to come to their extravagant parties and take her birds to hold a bird demonstration. Eventually her net worth outgrew her parents'.

She married Grian Stallone in 1986, however they divorced two years later in true celebrity style. A year later, her company acquired the Aviary in Lower Duck Pond.

In 1990, Winona found out that she is infertile. This brought her an incredible amount of pain. She became depressed and started doing less bird demonstrations. In 1992, she gave her last demonstration in Rosewater before giving herself a long break to focus on her mental health. In 1995, she was able to get back to work again, but her long absence from the public eye and lack of practice resulted in a decline in popularity.

In 2006, her tropical kingbird, Gertrude, died after a kid threw a stone at it. Winona was so sad about the accident that she became insane. She started becoming obsessed with her birds and even wanted to become one. After numerous therapy lessons her obsession toned down.

### **Moving to Lower Duck Pond**

In 2020, Winona moved into a mansion close to Lower Duck Pond so she could personally check in on the aviary.

## **Personality**

Before 2006, Winona had a lust for staying relevant. Her biggest fear is to die without a legacy, so she always tries to be in the spotlight. She was an attention seeker who didn't care about anyone else.

After the death of her Gertrude, she had a personality shift. She became obsessed with birds, specifically Gertrude. Even after numerous therapy sessions, she still regularly dresses as Gertrude as she can't move on. She also can't stop talking about her birds. Unlike Payton, Winona isn't willing to put people at unnecessary risk. She cares about others and their emotions, and still seeks for attention.
