Pervinca Took is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
THINGS WITH WINGS

1. The Crown of Gondor.
2. Roac (a raven).
3. The Great Eagles.
4. Elwing.
5. Balrog's shadow.
6. The cold chicken in Bilbo's pantry.
7. Ondoher's army at the Disaster of the Morannon (had both a Left Wing and a Right Wing).
8. The heroic duck in Moria ('A quick duck had saved him, and he had killed his first orc').
9. Ancalagon the flying dragon.
10. The geese that scream at the Nazgul, according to Frodo.
11. The cock whose crowing heralded the arrival of the Rohirrim and scared off the Nazgul at Minas Tirith.
12. Thuringwethil.
13. The gorcrows (from 'The Mewlips').

(I wasn't sure if the emblem of Dol Amroth would count, as it's a ship with a swan-shaped prow).

EXCLAMATIONS (please give the utterer and the context, if you can).

1. LAWKS! (Merry, Crickhollow).
