I am absolutely PETRIFIED of birds, especially big ones like Ostriches....I mean, have you ever really LOOKED CLOSELY at a bird? They're ugly, and just overall frightening and creepy. Watching them fly FAR AWAY is okay, it's actually beautiful, but when they're nearby I get all shaky and nervous. I sat in my car for 45 minutes one day because there was a HUGE seagull wandering around the parking lot REALLY close to my car. I eventually rolled down the window and asked the lady getting out of the car next to me to shoo the bird away because I was afraid and wouldn't get out.
Ya'll know that scene in "Dude, Where's My Car?" when the 2 guys are in the car on the ostrich farm? I cried when the ostrich bursts through the roof and they're all in the windows. My friends just laughed at me, but it was like my WORST nightmare coming true! I would kill myself if I was ever trapped in a room w/ a loose bird...!
I sound really silly but hey, they creep me out.
