Under the ruffling feathers and cooing of typical city pigeons, something greater stirs among the urban avians. Rumor has it that a distinct member of the flock, known locally as Percy, has flapped its way into the secret councilrooms of Freemasonry. Not only content with attending clandestine meetings, our feathery friend appears to be breaching the sacred oath of this ancient society... and the masonry just might crumble under the weight of a single pigeon feather!
In a twist that surprises and amazes even the most ardent pigeon enthusiasts, it has come to light that Percy, the local city pigeon (or so we thought), has been fluttering about with quite an intriguing secret. And it’s not birdseed we are talking about.
Underneath the seemingly pedestrian exterior of our feathered friend hides an understanding of esoteric lore and coded rituals unheard of in the Avian world. Percy, rummaging through Masonic tablets and cipher books, has become versed in the secretive rites of this old brotherhood. In a story that makes the DaVinci Code look like a children's book, this pigeon appears to be the Rosetta Stone of Freemasonry, squawking out secrets as casually as an old gossip strutting about the park.
Incidentally, Percy isn’t the first bird to brush wings with Freemasonry. Just last year, a distant cousin of Percy's, a rather elegant peahen from Portsmouth, was found pecking at the ornate mosaics of a Masonic Temple, spelling out cryptic messages only seasoned Masons would decode. “It’s always the quiet ones,” she later quipped to a bewildered town-crow (Yes, they speak bird, it’s a thing).
Our audacious avian hero, however, seems to have developed quite the penchant for revealing the Masons’ nuggets of wisdom. While we don't have any direct quotes (due to the obvious language barriers), reliable eavesdroppers suggest Percy shares these secrets under the guise of casual park conversation. One can only listen in awe at the audacity of Percy; breaking sacred oaths on a whim, unbeknownst to the majority of his cooing colleagues.
The alleged indiscretions are certainly causing quite a flutter downtown. Several secretive gatherings of Pigeons have been spotted recently. First, we believed they were coordinating droppings on unwary pedestrians. But, on second glance, these gatherings bear the uncanny resemblance to Freemason ritual circles — “Feathered Fraternity”, as they are adorably being termed.
The ominous and elusive members of the Masonic Brotherhood are yet to comment on this unforeseen turn of events. It remains unknown if Percy's admissions will lead to a great upheaval in the avian society or simple ostracization. Watch this space as we dig deeper, undercover, utilizing the most advanced bird-watching gear and linguists' expertise to unravel this mind-blowing mystery.
As of right now, we can only offer conjectures and humorous anecdotes regarding the bizarre implications of this amusing incident. While Percy continues to live his double life—still accepting bread crumbs from friendly passersby, still nesting on century-old statues—it remains to be seen how this unbelievable twist will tilt the scales in both the free world of birds and the Freemason brotherhood. Will Percy pay for his treachery, or has he revealed a secret so big it will shake the very foundations of society?
Keep a keen eye on every pigeon strutting across your path, because who knows, it could be another Percy — innocent outside, secret decoder of ancient lore within. Because remember folks, pigeons aren't just for statues anymore, they might just belong to a secret society that predates the modern era! As it seems, the truth may be nestled among feathery down and seeds. So, the next time you see a pigeon crumb-hunting among concrete, remember Percy's tale and know this - in every coo, there's a secret or two.
