"Death Peck" is the first segment of the forty-sixth episode of Star vs. the Forces of Evil. It premiered on November 15, 2017 alongside "Ponymonium".
Synopsis
Star urges the royal youth of Mewni to sign a petition calling for the equal treatment of Monsters.
Plot
Star, Marco and Pony Head are at the Pigeon Family Castle to get Prince Rich Pigeon to sign a petition asking for Mewman and Monster peace. It becomes apparent that the Pigeons are just simply organized dumb pigeons and they seem incapable of comprehending certain things. Star agrees to have Marco simply move Rich Pigeon's leg in such a way that it looks like he is signing it, but in his haste, accidentally breaks his leg. An entire army of pigeons begin flying after and attacking the three with Star incapable of fighting back as she left her wand with Glossaryck.
The three run through the castle until they block themselves off in a painting room. In the next room over, they discover the Pigeons' closet of legs and find a giant pair for them to use. As the pigeons break in, the three are sent scampering through the castle until they are blocked off by the birds. They attempt to smoothly talk down the situation until it is revealed that Pony Head stole some treasure. When Star asks that they all start over, Rich Pigeon falls out from under Pony Head with her admitting that she kidnapped him in an attempt to use him as leverage.
Star, Marco and Pony Head are placed in a small bird cell and are sentenced to death. A pigeon with executioners gear enters and proceeds to peck them to death, which mostly annoys rather than threatens the three. Rich Pigeon, with a leg cast, enters and proceeds to speak in full English; revealing that he has broken Pigeon law to learn the Mewman language. He demands that they be let go as he has decided to sign their petition and that he wants the Pigeons to change just like the rest of the Mewmans. Everyone celebrates with a feast of worms, much to Pony Head's disgust.
