I have a phobia of birds, I always have, and I kinda suspect I always will. I also by chance have a bird sanctuary literally in my back yard. There are blue herons, two bald eagles, humming birds , owls, wood peckers, black birds, robins, stellar jay's and god knows what else is living in there. The humming birds are one of worst because they making a scary noise, and they get too close.

This might sound really stupid to some people, I have been teased lots over it, but I cannot get past their talons and beaks, and the fact that they can fly. I don't even like to be near butterflies. I gotta say tho, that I would rather have a phobia of something else, something less populated, and less mobile haha.

Living here has helped, but there have been a few times I had my head dived at and one got in my hair, they are black with yellow and red stripes at the tip of their wings, I really will not go outside If I see one of those around. I was in tears and screaming when it was in my hair, I thought I was going to die, it was sheer terror. I didn't go near my back yard for months after that. Anyone know what those birds could be?
