BURP!

"We sure had a lot of food yesterday!

"Even when it was just me n' Gilda back in Birdingham, we always had big meals on hearth's warming!"

Interesting approach. For the Ask Pun canon, the griffon lands are comparable to North Korea: Intense militarization and control of the people by the elite and all trade is tightly controlled by the government. This makes most Griffons outside of their homeland "refugees" rather than immigrants.

In Rainbow Feather’s world, there’s a variety of Griffon nations (most kingdoms, some even republics), not unified like the ponies are in Equestria, of varying levels of niceness. Feather grew up in a small, friendly nation who trades between Equestria (especially her home town of Birdingham, near the border) and the more distant griffon kingdoms, serving a bit as a buffer, and with a minority pony population much like Equestria has a griffon minority. Others can be more prickly, even strongly isolationist, though none of them are as bad as they used to be, when there were plenty of wars!

What was your favorite thing about Birdingham?

"Hmm... I can't really say Gilda, because she's not in Birdingham anymore! Well, since it was on a small mountain, we got really cool weather... and school was pretty fun... and occasionally when griffons or ponies were going to or from Equestria, they'd have some really cool stuff they were carrying and we'd be able to see it or buy it or stuff! I guess there was actually a lot of cool stuff there," Feather says.

Feather reluctantly asks, “So, uh, while we’re on the subject, do you have any questions about what it was like back when I lived in Birdingham?”
