The Big Bang Theory Sneak Peek & Photos: Sheldon's Scared of Birds in Episode 5.09

A new episode of The Big Bang Theory will be airing tonight on CBS. The episode, entitled 'The Ornithophobia Diffusion', features Sheldon trying to get over his fear of birds. Wolowitz, Amy and Bernadette all try to help Sheldon with his fear and his battle with a bird on his balcony.

Meanwhile, Leonard and Penny try to figure out whether "friends with benefits" can still be friends without the benefits. The two of them decide to hang out alone, but Leonard doesn't want Penny to think they're going out on a date, so naturally things are a bit awkard.

Below is a sneak peek for tonight's new episode of The Big Bang Theory, featuring Sheldon trying to scare aware a bird, while Leonard debates what to wear on his non-date with Penny.

    I was almost beginning to think they "decorated" it to make it look more exotic. Glad they didn't. That's cruel.

    So glad I'm not the only one that has to know what kind of bird that was. My hubby thinks I'm crazy for letting that stuff get to me. lol Thank you for the posts.

  22. debbiez says:

    The bird is indigenous to NW Mexico, so it was plausible the bird could be there.

Got an Opinion? Spill ...
