    I don't really think it is normal to be afraid of birds just because a chicken scratched you. Seriously, just a little chicken, not that scary.

    The same thing happened to Bubbles on Trailer Park Boys! They pecked him "unmercifly!" So now he's terrified of chickens.

    Have you ever seen the movie "The Birds"? Very creepy!!

    Don't watch Alfred Hitchcock's "Birds." It's actually what made my mother afraid of birds in multitudes. And I don't blame her. If there's any lingering issue with birds, that'd make anyone phobic. It's normal =D

    Yeah you're normal hunnie. I'm not afraid of all birds but there a few that I'm not a fan of.

    I live in Australia and over here we have these birds called Magpies and sometimes they sweep during their mating season so people don't touch their nests.

    I get why they do it but once when I was walking home from university about 2 years ago one swooped me and almost attacked me. Magpies have sharp beaks and claws so if they attack you it's a pretty serious injury so from then on I hate those birds.

    Yes, it's normal... especially if you see AN EAGLE ALMOST AS BIG AS A COW, NO JOKE, RIGHT OUT MY DECK. I felt like puking for some reason...
