Pentecost pigeon!

OUR parish priest had a flair for the dramatic. 

He got the idea of having a pigeon released from the belfry on Pentecost just at the moment when, on the church steps in front of the procession of worshipers, he would say, "Come, Holy Spirit!"  
Pentecost came, and the sacristan put a pigeon in a bag, went upstairs to the belfry and waited. 
When the priest pronounced the words, nothing happened.  
A few seconds later, we heard a voice from the belfry, "It's stifled!"
