## 🐦 The Tyne Bridge Pigeon Rebellion

It is **present day**, and Newcastle is in **full-blown crisis**.

**Pigeon Dave**, the **only bird in history to ever receive a salary**, was meant to be the guest of honor at Newcastle’s **prestigious heritage ceremony**. 

But **disaster has struck**—**Pigeon Dave has vanished without a trace**!

The **Lord Mayor is preparing his speech**, the **media is swarming**, and the **city’s reputation is on the line**. If Pigeon Dave is not found **within the next hour**, the ceremony will be an **absolute disaster**.

### 📜 **Historical Context**

The **Tyne Bridge**, completed in **1928**, is an architectural symbol of Newcastle. During its construction, a peculiar legend emerged—a pigeon, affectionately known as **Pigeon Dave**, became a fixture among the workers. The laborers swore that he arrived **daily**, observed the progress, and even took **breaks** like a regular employee. 

Eventually, as a **good-humored gesture**, the city put **Pigeon Dave on the payroll**, making him the **first and only paid pigeon in British history**. For decades, his tale was forgotten, buried under layers of bureaucratic paperwork—until now.

**Your Mission:** Track down Pigeon Dave, unravel the conspiracy, and ensure Newcastle’s most famous bird gets the **recognition he deserves!**
