Perry at the Priory
In the summer of 2004 Pericles the Decoy Duck spent a month in The Priory to get over his worm and bird seed addiction.
This blog was originally set up to chronicle his experiences and the inevitable escape attempts.
However, it refuses to die.

Duck Decapitation!
__
Yes, it's true - some clumsy soul 'accidentally' knocked my block off shortly before Christmas.It's really cramped my social life. No-one wants to be seen with a decapitated duck. Thaisa's threatening to dump me after several stories appeared in the tabloids accusing me of "running around like a headless chicken". Sandi's thinking about having me retired. I even had my invitation to the office party revoked.
I've tried hinting to the The Team ™ that they should get me fixed. However the strategically placed tube of superglue seems to have given them the wrong idea about me. Humming the theme tune from the Six-Million Dollar Man ("Rebuild him...Better...Stronger...Faster") only made matters worse and now they're threatening to send me back to The Priory.
To cap it all, I made a horrible discovery after someone inadvertently left my head sitting on the studio table behind my body - that WWII pigeon vest really does make my bum look big.
