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.

However, it refuses to die.

I guess their goose is cooked too

The passenger pigeon is extinct (I'm starting to empathise already). Sadly all the members of this particular species had the misfortune to live in the same area as American farmers who regarded them as a pest.90 years after this act of avian genocide, some of the only remaining evidence of their existence can be found The Passenger Pigeon Memorial Hut: "Inside are three stuffed Passenger Pigeons and a number of informative signs guaranteed to make you feel bad."
