Bernice is Bert's pet pigeon. Bert has taught her to play checkers (though she only beat him twice out of ten games). Bernice is played by a real pigeon. It is unknown how many pigeons have played the role over the course of the series.
Trivia
- Bernice is apparently a popular name for birds. In a Land of Gorch sketch, the male glig flies off, calling for his mate, Bernice. The Tuxedo Gonzo Action Figure came with a chicken named Bernice as a pack-in.
