The name of the fear

I thought that it was about time to research into what my fear is actually called.

And it is called:

Ornithophobia

On Wikipedia it says:

Ornithophobia is a type of specific phobia, an abnormal, irrational fear of birds.

Ornithophobia can cause the following symptoms: breathlessness, dizziness, excessive sweating, nausea, dry mouth, feeling sick, shaking, heart palpitations, inability to speak or think clearly, a fear of dying, becoming mad or losing control or a full blown anxiety attack.

Irrational??? what do they know?!

Below is a video of the chickens that are apparently my irrational fear.
