Am I the only one who HATES BIRDS?

[Beauty]

There is one of those great big white cranes in my backyard and it just gives me the chills. Agan the old Hitchcock movie coming back to haunt me. I need to be on Maurey Povich with my fobia of birds...heck even Kara's cute pictures give me chills and those are babies!!!!!

So whats your phobia??

Yep. JK!!!

Actually, I better not hate them. I have one in a cage in the other room (a cockatiel). In fact, he whistles parts of some Disney tunes. The Mickey Mouse Club March, the Tiki Room theme, Pirates of the Caribbean and a couple others. No, he doesn't know It's a Small World. I am not looking to drive myslef crazy!!

I'm afraid of people who don't like birds.

Seriously, though, I'm afraid of heights... not so badly that I'd call it a phobia per se, but I try to avoid them when I can. Also not crazy about driving over bridges for fear of them collapsing as I drive over it. Again, not quite a phobia, just an intense and irrational dislike. I can do it; I just have to look straight ahead as I drive and block out the periphery as I drive... I try to pretend that I'm on a regular road instead of a bridge.

But I do have a true phobia -- cockroaches. Any kind of bug that lives in colonies, but especially cockroaches.

Now Jay that might be a bird I could get along with.

I'm like you Kara it isn't really a phobia...so bad that I can't go near them cause as everyone well knows those seagulls at Disney will drive you nuts! Its just ever since I was little and watched that movie "The Birds" they just give me chills espeically when there are a lot of them in one place.

I guess hate isn't the right word because I actually helped a baby bird into the bushes the other day....just really uncomfortable...LOL!

Birds give me the creeps.

Not trying to offend any bird lovers, I can't help it, that's just the way it is.

 

[iluvorlando]

I really am an animal lover. However, after being bitten several times by different birds, I have decided that birds are not for me. The unfortunate thing is my inlaws have a cockatiel and a parrot. They have willed the birds to us. I am just thrilled. Nothing against your babies though Kara, they are adorable!!

 

[PandyPaws]

Oh, Beauty...I would HATE to tell you then what's been on my balcony DAILY here at the Dolphin!!

i will post a picture for you later

 

[SuiteDisney]

I hated birds until Kara started posting pictures of her baby birds. Now I look forward to seeing them every day.

The other night I went out to the back deck to water my flowers and was shocked to see so many barn swallows!! There must have been 200-300 of them on the electrical wires and another 50 or more swarming around just above my head, and swooping down nearer to the ground. It was very eerie, and definitely reminded me of "The Birds." I watered my flowers, but kept glancing at the swallows. They were only there that one night, very strange indeed.....

 

[wdw4us]

but I don;t enjoy what they leave behind.

I have 3 neighbors who have -between them probably 7 or 8 feeders. Guess who has the biggest tree in the neighborhood???

ME.

What to birds do after they eat POOP all over my deck, the solar cover to my pool, the leaves are covered, the grass is white the patio is spotted and we have West Nile Virus haning around the state.

I had a blue jay dive bomb my Maine Coon all 16 pounds of her. A BB took care of her. She didn't die, but let me tell you she didn't return! After many passes, we'd had enough.

Birds are fine, it's the neighbors I'd like to smack. You don't need to feed birds in the summer, they need food in the winter when there are no worms and when the little white stuff that comes out of their butts looks like the snow!

Birds are fine, it's people that are stupid.

Donna I can imagine!! I remember what it was like last September on the balcony of the Yacht Club!!

Chatty that would freak me out!!

 

[Beauty]

We have West Nile here to...thankfully we live in the country and the only tree in our yard is young and NO BIRDS thank goodness. If we get the new house though there are plenty of trees!

 

[Kitty 34]

Birds are fine.....my phobia is spiders!!! Ewwww!

 

[Kama89]

Birds make me EXTREMELY nervous! Anything that moves quickly freaks me out. Birds, fish and .... ACK... FROGS! I can look at pictures of birds but just show me a picture of a frog or a fish and... ewwww..... I get the chills. Getting close to any of the above for real? FORGET IT....I'm a mile away in seconds. Actually....I get the heebie jeebies just considering thinking about the thought of possibly someday looking at a picture of fish or frogs. *Shudder shudder*

 

[WDWfanatic288]

I kinda am scared of birds now...espically after watching the Hitchock movies The Birds....I'm scared! lol

I have this huge phobia of roaches...if I see one I run away and start crying

 

[KozmicLee]

I love birds from a distance. Seabirds, exotic birds, whatever, as long as they can't bite me. My mom went through a bird phase and we had finches and cockatiels and lovebirds. I think they're cute and stuff but I don't like them on me.

 

[yensid1071]

I think my bird is protesting this thread. I went in to feed him & now he's mad. He kept biting at me. No fear tho. He won't bite me as hard as anyone else. So if he's testy, don't stick your hand in his cage.

LOL!! The other day I saw 2 little mockingbirds chase away 4 big crows. Kind of a funny sight, really!!

We had a finch nest in our bushes a few weeks ago. As they're learning to fly, one of the babies landed on a window ledge outside my office. One of my cats was in the window and went crazy!! We have dark solar screens, so the bird couldn't see the cat, but he was only about 3 inches away. Good thing the window wasn't open or it could have been really bad!!!
