Last time I was back home in Copenhagen, there were way fewer pigeons because the government has forbidden the feeding of them.

I tried to feed a goose popcorn, and it chased me. I was at a beach with my family, and a seagull attacked me and took my sandwich out of my hands when I was about to eat it, as well as I stepped on a pigeon in the train station and killed it by accident. I still remember the squish under my shoe, and it was still making noises afterward. I don ™t think I ever jumped so high in my freaking life. Once I realized what I stepped on and moved off to it, I remember thinking it would get up and get me. I just went into full panic mode. Now I can ™t walk past and be close to any type of bird. And sometimes, if one startles me on the street, I ™ll jump, run away, or scream and look absolutely insane, lol.

But remember that birds have carried messages in wars before, and that has saved people’s lives. Not all birds are bad.

Even me. My parents thought that I was overreacting to silly things.

I lived in Australia when I was 7 and went to a park with a million and a half birds and my uncles dog wanted to chase them, so naturally I went with. The magpies attacked me and to this day, I still remember the fluttering of their wings. My phobia is so bad that even butterflies scare me since they also flutter their wings. I refuse to go to the beach, I refuse to sit outside in restaurants (this situation has not been good to me), and I am always on the lookout for birds when we’re literally anywhere that’s not indoors. My friends will think it’s funny when a bird comes and used to expect me to start screaming and causing a scene. They now know that it is a serious phobia and just scare the birds away for me without me asking anymore.
