Where I am in upstate New York had a big snowstorm last night, surprisingly one of these little guys (red bellied woodpecker) decided to venture out and find himself some food on the tree in my backyard. If anyone wants to share pics of their favorite birds, I thought it would make a nice thread.  |

Love upstate New York. The mountains, Lakes, wildlife. Was just talking to a friend about getting a cabin. But my favorite bird is the peregrine falcon, which I believe is the fastest animal on Earth. They have a nesting pair on a building not far from me in SoCal.  |

Shared from a story I told on Discord...
Birds are my greatest phobia in life besides snakes. I simply can't overcome my fear. When I was a toddler, we had a trailer with no AC, so my parents had the ceiling fan spinning round and round on full blast with the windows open. I was napping on the bed. A bird flew in, hit the fan, died, and landed directly on my face. It's the first memory I have in life and I've been traumatized ever since. I've had several encounters where I know birds were out to get me. Especially seagulls or buzzards when you're doing family vacations on a houseboat! But that's a whole other story...

Dude, that's one horrible story I can't imagine what that must have been like. It's no surprise that you have an aversion to birds. On the other hand, this is a thread for bird photos, not Bird stories. The least you could have done is gotten a photograph of that Bloody bird. Lol I worked with a gal who had Ornithophobia. She would absolutely freak out if a pigeon headed in her Direction. But she was a bit cuckoo anyway. Lol |
