Ornithophobia

Ornithophobia is a type of specific phobia, which is an abnormal and irrational fear of birds. The origin of the word ornitho is Greek (meaning bird) and phobia is Greek (meaning fear). The fear of birds is not uncommon, and it stems from the menacing, darker image of some birds of prey. Sufferers of this phobia might fear that they will be attacked by a bird or may simply be uncomfortable around them.
