Don't Play with Your Food
Mr Duggins, owner of Arch Supermarkets and Duggins Deliveries, has engineered a new way of maximising profit and cutting down on wasted food.

There are increasing numbers of food poisoning and the pigeons are getting worried. Pigeon Boy is needed urgently! The superhero is captured and only narrowly avoids becoming pigeon mince before convincing Mr Duggins to apologise to his customers for the poor quality of the meat recently and to guarantee much better quality control in the future.
Ruffled Feathers
A serious cold spell has descended, causing endless problems. It hasn't stopped snowing for days; the streets are like ice skating rinks; icicles are hanging from every gutter; pipes are freezing up. There is panic at the supermarket as desperate mothers rush for the last remaining warm feather jackets for their frozen children. Mr Bowens, the proprietor assures his customers that there will be a delivery of down jackets no later than the next day. What a strange coincidence then that the pigeons are witness to a bizarre kidnapping at a bird shop. Masked men remove the birds and take them to a farm where it looks like Mr Bowens himself is preparing for an imminent mass plucking. For this he has a formidable looking machine endowed with gleaming tweezers. The pigeons are terrified and summon Pigeon Boy to save the birds and convince Mr Bowens to give every child a free down jacket to protect them from the cold.

Despite a technical failure, Pigeon Boy repairs the antenna just in time for Fred to broadcast a life-saving warning. Recognizing that expertise outweighs aesthetics, the station bosses fire Honey and reinstate Fred as their lead forecaster.

A Close Scrape
The annual Golden Wiper competition pits Arthur’s aunt Rita, the two-time defending champion, against the ruthless Cosmo Peterson, owner of "Squirt o’ Sun." Desperate to win, Cosmo ignores the fact that his product causes hair loss—instead buying wig factories to profit from the side effect. The final challenge is to clean one side of Peterson Tower. Cosmo attempts to cheat by entering a "two-man" team with arms in plaster to appear disadvantaged, only for them to reveal healthy limbs once they reach the top. However, his plan backfires; "Squirt o’ Sun" leaves greasy streaks on the glass, possibly due to interference from Pigeon Boy. Despite Cosmo’s dirty tactics, Rita’s skill prevails. She claims her third consecutive trophy, and the public rejects Cosmo’s flawed product in favor of Rita’s own brand.
