Winnifred, also known as Winnie, was a peculiar pigeon and friend of Miss Wren. She lived in St. Paul's Cathedral in London with her fellow peculiar pigeons, but came into Miss Thrush's loop from time to time, where she would be fed and befriended by Melina Manon.[1] She was brutally killed by Caul in the disguise of Miss Peregrine.
Hollow City[]
After the wights' initial raid of Miss Thrush's loop, they came back every day to hunt for Winnifred and the other peculiar pigeons, but were unsuccessful in finding them. Winnifred largely hid in the wrecked house with Melina, who was not captured by the wights in their raid.
When Jacob Portman, Emma Bloom and Horace Somnusson sneak into the loop to look for peculiar pigeons, they find Melina and Winnifred in the house's attic. Melina initially assumes the three to be wights and tries to kill them, with Winnifred escaping through the roof during the scuffle. After Horace proves to Melina that he is peculiar, she stops her attacks and calls for Winnifred, revealing that she is friends with the pigeon. Melina tells Jacob, Emma and Horace that wights had come seeking the peculiar pigeons, and when Miss Wren is mentioned, that she doesn't know a Miss Wren and just feeds Winnie when the bird comes to the loop's courtyard. Winnifred and Melina afterwards join the peculiar children's group, and as they leave the loop they are reunited with the Bone Brothers and the rest of Miss Peregrine's wards.
Kept on a leash, Winnifred leads the peculiars in finding Miss Wren after they escape hollowgasts and their encounter with Sam and Esme. When Winnifred comes to a fork, she debates left or right while Melina gives encouragement. Enoch threatens to roast Winnie on a spit if she didn't find Miss Wren, which makes the pigeon instantly choose left. She leads the group into an underground station and into a loop, where they come to a combination-locked door that leads to the Carnival Tourist Loop.
Caul, in his peregrine form and disguised as Miss Peregrine, interrogates Winnifred for the password. After she gives it, to everyone's horror he flings her against the wall, which breaks Winnie's neck and infuriates Melina. Though Enoch said that he would resurrect Winnifred, he never did.
