Annie, i can clearly understand how u must have felt coz as i read ur comment, i could imagine how yucky it is, and talking about television adverts Yes, if they show something like that, i said say ewww, help and i even begin to wonder, how on earth does the couple have the guts to sing or dance around pigeons, there are a lot of bollywood (indian films) where the actor actresses are carrying them in their hand, i watch it and i get goose bums
I hate them too by: Benedict
I've been terrfied of pigeons for a very long time now, and I can't really explain why. I can't ever go into the city for fear of running into them - if I do I look like an idiot because I cross all over the street in order to avoid them. I have to stay inside the shopping mall. One time however, I managed to walk through a bunch of about 4 of them. I was on a school trip with a few people, and I was worried I would embarass myself in front of them with the whole pigeon thing. But it turned out my fear of embarassment was greater than the fear of pigeons. I walked straight through them (nearly fainted and I went dizzy) but I found that if I was in front of people I knew (eg at school) I found a way to conquer my fear. I'm still scared of them though.

fear of pigeons by: Annie
I'm also terrified of pigeons, if I come across a picture of them in a magazine I feel sick & just recently there's been an advert on tv with the disgusting creatures flying into an office, I have to leave the room when it comes on. I love to travel especially to cities in Europe, but cities are the places where they are most prevalent, the worst place I ever visited was Venice, it is so beautiful but the place is overun with the creatures, so my visit was ruined. It's the same with most cities, I have to be on my guard all the time & be very aware. My friends & family think it's crazy, but I have felt like this from being a little girl, apparently I was in my pushchair as a toddler being pushed through a park when several of them flew up at me & scared me. I find it difficult to even type the word!! Getting round my local town can be a nightmare, so I only shop in p----n free areas. Fortunately, I live in a rural area so not many of them about, unlike cities where there everywhere. I really sympathise with you all, it's a horrible phobia.
Same here by: Lily
I suffer from the same problem as you two. Whenever I see them or one comes near me I get scared that it is going to attack me. All my friends and family take the mick out of me but I don't find it funny at all. I have been scared ever since when I was at lower school and there was an owl on a glove and we had to get out picture taken with it. Well when it was my turn i couldn't take my eyes off the owl and i thought it was going to poke me and bite me. I never saw the photo as the staff at the school said I was white as a ghost when i was holding it. So that has been my fear ever since.
yor not alone by: Lauren
hi saria, im 18 and I dont remember being afraid of pigeons when i was very young, in fact i used to save the odd one that flew into a window..but now I am so terrified of them and i do not know why. they disgust me.they make me look like a fool when walking through town and make me completely tense and i also lose control not even realising that i am about to scream or jump away..
