Question:

I still have two scars on my arm where the bird got me. that night we had chicken. the owner of the bird was mad. I am 33 years old know. The fear is really bad. tired of people thanking that is funny.

Answers:
I hate birds and chickens too - they're creepy. I still eat chicken though and avoid birds. Don't tell everyone about your phobia. There are therapeutic means to diminish it and your health insurance might pay. Check into it.

Other Answers:
Just accept it. It will feel better, don't think about it to much

i dont think its funny. sorry but i dont know how to help you with that

i have the same fear. my friend owns chickens so over these years i am able to tolerate them better. i dont like them, but i dont hate them

eat chicken stab it a couple of times get your anger out on that dead chicken you eating. I am being serious to.

BOO!
Sorry.

My aunt was attacked by a rooster too. Got her in the face. I'm not helping am I.
Birds can have nasty dispositions. Why don't you go to a petting Zoo and try to spend a little time with them or talk to some of their aviary experts. I think a better understanding of all things we fear removes the fear entirely

well the real only fear is fear its self and also it more of your mind playing tricks on you so the best thing you can do is this yes i understand that traumatized you but look at it like this if while walking you fall and trip that doesn't mean you are going to be scared to ever get back up and walk again are you?? no so go outside dumb some seeds or pinches of bread on the ground and watch them eat walk torwards them and see all they will do is fly away because truth be told as scared of them as you are there more scared of you !!! if you wanna talk more e-mail me dream5465@yahoo.com

Is it all birds or just chickens? I was chased and kicked by an ostrich he was 8 ft. tall and weighed 15oo lbs. totally dislocated my shoulder and cracked the rotator cuff in half the worst pain I have ever felt, that was 2003
I'm 55 yrs. old and I never gave him a second thought after I got to watch my husband shoot it in the chest with a nine milometer pistol. Maybe thats what you need to do too.

i'm afraid of birds too. i've been afriad of them since i was like 2, and over the years, it just got kinda worse. but this past year, i went to like san fransico like a million times and theres this 1 place there where i HAVE to past and theres always like a TON of pigeons there. the first couple times i just TOTALLY freaked out. so the pigeons flew around everywere. and then i slowly just got used to them. and now i'm nt AS afraid as birds anymore. so mayb that might work for you...
