Hi
Fortunately, this can be cured. Ornithophobia generally responds well to CBT. A trained therapist can help you in confronting your fear, substituting your negative thoughts with more positive talk. Systematic desensitization will also help this cause, in which the affected person is gradually exposed to birds.
If your phobia is intense, hypnosis and/or medications may be employed in conjunction with CBT. The goal is to bring down your fear to a manageable degree so that you are able to begin to go through it.
Ornithophobia, or fear of birds, is not unusual. However under the guidance of a trained therapist, you can combat your phobia.
