History[]
Doctor Pyke was "a brilliant man with controversial ideas about bird communication" who ran a university-funded bird sanctuary near Oxford. When much of Britain was flooded, Pyke survived in his sanctuary by eating insects and drinking dirty water, which drove him insane. He used a special device he had invented to take control of a flock of birds and turn them into an army, intending to use them to take control of the world (a tall order for an elderly ornithologist dressed in rags, but you can't help admiring his ambition). Unfortunately, Bill Savage deprived him of his Birdcall device, and Pyke's flock immediately turned on him and pecked him to death.
