And got on with looking for the bus. Weird.<BR/><BR/>But if a dog was seen 50m down the road, I'd probably turn around and go home on a walk. THAT'S what scares me.Bellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01961733332080072331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849756.post-73389796153199028872007-09-17T16:57:00.000+10:002007-09-17T16:57:00.000+10:00Yep, I do know feeding them can help.

I'd never heard of such a thing. That IS terrifying. Talk about spicing up the morning jog a bit...<BR/><BR/>I don't fear birds (easy for me to say, never having been attacked by one). Mainly I just hope they don't poop on me. The gulls at the beach are pretty big and can be aggressive and stalk for food. I've seen them rustle through folks' bags and take the chips and stuff right out. That's why we NEVER feed the gulls at the beach (besides that snack food really isn't good for them).amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02429539000041713324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849756.post-33037232107086925862007-09-15T10:41:00.000+10:002007-09-15T10:41:00.000+10:00I have the bird phobia thing as well.

There were all these animals with wings and I swear they were looking at me planning to attack when my back was turned. I don't know where this phobia comes from, I don't think I was attacked as a child. Maybe in another life I was a worm...Donna Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07877384848664758611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849756.post-90458373366343046512007-09-15T07:48:00.001+10:002007-09-15T07:48:00.001+10:00Maybe you should knit a beanie with eyes on top?

Mum had us in icecream buckets with eyes drawn on the top when we were little. The mortification of that was worse than the swooping!Taphophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010309734967633575noreply@blogger.com
