Basically, it's about a flying bird who goes out exploring with xir friend, and the next thing xe knows, xe's turned into a flightless bird (perhaps a swimming one?). While learning to adapt to xir new body with the help of someone who's always been that species, the transformed bird and xir friend hear from a wandering albatross (maybe) that a wise bird might know why the protagonist transformed, so the duo set off to find the wise bird. Also, the friend feels guilty for inadvertently leading the protagonist into danger.
What species should they be, though? I sort of want to protagonist duo to be birds of prey, but what? I also want the birds in this story to come from the same general area in real life.

In my ideas so far, the level of anthropomorphism is Civilized Animal (think Guardians of Ga'Hoole), so maybe I could have some kind of proto-bird-Zootropolis? Except I want this to be an adventure story...

Megaguirus gets distracted by a butterfly. So pretty.
