eee!

Birds. I have ornithophobia. For no reason that I can understand, I've always been terrified of them. Not just scared- literally, unreasoning terror. I've been trapped in my car, unable to get out cause a bird's next to my door. Once, a big seagull type thing (or pelican? the bird with the hanging thingie under his mouth) landed next to me at a park by the river; the next thing I knew I was a half mile away and totally lost. I'd run screaming and had to be located by some of the group I was with; they didn't know what happened, just that I freaked out and fled like my arse was on fire. So, umm. Yeah. Birds. I expect one day, one will touch me and I will just stroke out and die right there.
