Irrational fear or dislike of birds From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ornithophobia is the abnormal and irrational fear of birds, as well as a type of specific phobia.[1][2] The term may also refer to strong dislike of birds. People with ornithophobia are often afraid of specific types of birds, for example chickens, ducks, and/or pest birds in grain-producing areas.[3]
The prefix ornitho- signifies "of or pertaining to birds", from Ancient Greek ὄρνις (órnis, "bird").
