Nice idea. And introduces the use of homing pigeons for sending messages back to Whitewall (don't eat them!). Do they nest in holes in a cliff somewhere, or do they have a statue of some suitable pigeon deity that they congregate on? (A dirty white statue, by now!) Or both...

Did you know that pigeons can count up to two? How many eggs in the nest? None, one, two, lots. So if you're egg-stealing, you leave them "lots" (3), and they don't notice the difference.
