Lovey-Dovey

Lovey-Dovey is a | Black-throated Magpie-Jay that Sheldon at first feared but then adopted as a pet. This is short lived because Lovey-Dovey flew away shortly after. It made its appearance in The Ornitophobia Diffusion, the ninth episode of season 5. Lovey-Dovey had a nest built outside the window sill of Sheldon and Leonard's apartment.

Sheldon had tried several failed attempts to scare her away, which included mimicking a cat's meow, drawing a cat's face on a paper then mimicked the cat's meow again, and trying to use his "Bird Death Ray" to shoo away the bird. He later put on a helmet held a broom, opened the window and tried to shoo the bird away again. This was when the bird flew in and landed on his spot on the couch.



When all efforts failed, he resorted to Amy and Bernadette's help since they are biologists to shoo the bird away. The girls made him conquer his fear and he ended up being infatuated by the bird, thus the name Lovey-Dovey. He even had Bernadette took a picture of him and the bird to put it on a mug, a calendar and a mouse pad. When Sheldon decided to keep the bird, he opened the window sill to retrieve her nest and that was when Lovey-Dovey flew away. A frustrated Sheldon found his console with the bird's nest containing one egg. He eventually told Leonard that he is going to be a mommy. In The Flaming Spittoon Acquisition, the picture that Bernadette took of Sheldon and Lovey-Dovey has become Sheldon's Facebook profile picture.
