Fear of birds. From the ancient Greek “ornithos”(bird).
It’s a widespread fear and I know many people who coexist, sometimes live, with this phobia, especially of pigeons in the city. Since ancient times, birds have been part of culture in various forms, often as messengers of the gods and symbols of misfortune, or of death as in the case of crows. It would be natural to quote Hitchcock's ‘The Birds’, but we will discuss this in another phobia, namely Ovaphobia. Unpredictable and elusive, often their sudden movements or attacks have created traumatic experiences, as in the case of seagulls when we have food in our hands.

One scene that featured a peacock was scary to film because she "was terrified of them" and didn't want them to "get too close," saying that "they're like, mean.
Some reports also mention Eminem's fear of owls.
