Half Price's Flock take roost in the roofing of the towns train station. This may seem slightly too busy but they get very used to it. The bustle of people coming and going and the dead silence at night means there can be great fun in exploring for leftovers or things dropped onto the tracks.
This Roost has been in use a number of years and the birds are even familiar with the trains timetable. They know that the large machines tend to stop for a while in their roost and then move on again, and at certain points during the night will cease to visit at all.
Half Price recently took over as head of flock after his fathers sudden death. His father ran the flock with fair and even rule with a fair allocation of work to all pidge. Half Price however has shown he is very open to bribery and persuasion, higher class members of the flock can buy their way out of having to do any unseemly labour or jobs and even without skills can find themselves in very cushy high-influence roles.
This has not gone unnoticed, the lower-class secretly exchange meetings and messages to one another. Even though these kinds of thoughts of doubt are monitored, they often can slip undetected as the lower class are extremely loyal to one another and would rather take a hit themselves than letting friends take the blow. The problems within the flock pile up quickly, like a house of cards in a thunderstorm, Half Price does his best to patch up the mess the best he can, but the truth is he is inexperienced and corrupt. He could either start fresh, admit his mistakes and treat all pidge as equals. Or wait it out for a new leader to change the mistakes he has created.

This Flock is Headed by Half Price
Half Price
Proud, naive and vain, the young leader of the train station flock. who Recently took over from his deceased father. But due to unskilled decisions and careless planning, their has a risen a distinct divide in the flock. Between almost a kind of poverty and a very well off upper class. The dire state of the flock is hushed up and kept well within the station walls. but the poorer pidge are unhappy with the state of affairs and there are rumours of a 'lord of thieves'. Who plans to rise to power as a head of flock. Poorer pidge are prevented from leaving the flock for fear that other roosts may learn of the state of leadership under the Station laws.

Flock Exclusive Roles to Half Price's
Thief: Half Prices Flock only Why find things yourself when you can relieve others of their hard found goodies far more easily? Thieves are by nature quite secretive and can sometimes be quite unsavoury characters. Its natural that such a job would mostly fall in with poorer and the more hard worn pidge.
Tea Maker: Half Prices Flock only The upper class pidge developed a taste for a hot drink brewed from different herbs and spices. The drink is considered a sign of class and distinction as only the more able pidge can trade any of their belongings for such rarities. The master tea-makers are very well-off and can keep their clients interested by their unending inventiveness and seasonal flavours.
