Bert is always missing Pigeons in the News because of Ernie's misadventures. He does love bottle caps and paper clips as well, but there are no TV shows about them that we know of.

6. What part of Bert's body does Ernie often remove?

Ernie often takes Bert's nose off for obscure reasons. In one sketch, he makes a sculpture of Bert, but runs out of clay for the nose, so borrows Bert's real nose to complete his work of art.
