Ever seen a baby pigeon? Not a tiny, fluffy one. Not even one nicking chips outside the station. Suspicious, isn’t it?
When a pigeon invades Mr Morton’s bookshop, Brian finds a book asking why nobody ever sees baby pigeons. There’s a sensible explanation involving squabs and nests. Then there’s Dr Gerald Peck’s theory: a secret pigeon factory beneath Trafalgar Square, flat pigeons, an Inflation Department and a rigorous course in chip theft.
Join Mr Morton and Brian for a bonkers investigation in this episode of Mr Morton’s Barmy Book of Bonkers Bits, the children’s comedy podcast where facts are questionable and the truth has a habit of getting rather silly.

The Saddest Eyes in Town
Harry Plimpton had the saddest eyes in town. In fact, they were so sad that eventually the town decided something had to be done.
Their solution? Find the cutest, saddest-looking dog they could and put it outside Harry’s house.
What follows is an increasingly ridiculous battle to discover who can look the most miserable, as Harry refuses to be out-sadded by a dog.
A funny children’s audio story about sad faces, stubbornness and what can happen when you take a staring contest much too seriously.
Which animal do you think has the saddest-looking eyes? Tell us through the Bonkers Postbox at MrMortonsBarmyBook.com.

Mad Hatter Day: The Completely True History of Hats
Humans have been putting things on their heads for thousands of years. But why? And who looked at a head and thought, “That needs a hat”?
To celebrate Mad Hatter Day, Mr Morton opens the Barmy Book on the completely true history of hats, from ancient headwear and very questionable Vikings to some of the strangest things ever balanced above a pair of ears.
It’s a ridiculous rummage through hats, history and facts that may have become slightly bent out of shape along the way.
What’s the most ridiculous hat you can imagine? Send it to the Bonkers Postbox at MrMortonsBarmyBook.com.
