YES! I do! Ever since I went to Venice (which has HEAPS of pigeons plus pigeon-feeding groups in San Marco Square), I've developed a deeper fear of them!
The stupid things dive bomb sometimes which is freaky, 'cos I've seen Hitchcock's "The Birds" movie where the birds actually flock up and try to kill humans... well imagine that movie and Venice, and you've got the picture (except the pigeons aren't killers obviously)
Apparently in Venice they are such a pest, that they have pigeon as a main ingredient in Venetian cookbooks....... yes, kill one, cook one, eat one!! Don't worry they DON"T serve that at restaurants, LOL, they only serve the usual pasta/seafood dishes, very nice yummy food.
I hope I haven't put you off going to Venice... it is a great place to visit! Pigeons aren't everywhere, just mostly in San Marco Square because of the pigeon feeders...

My mate does. 1 day i just left her, and she was still outside her house, and called me on ,y mobile, screaning there's a pigeon in my house!!
I had to run over and shoo it out the house, and she then had to clean it all way thru cos it had been there (it was funny though, had to be there)
It was a homing pigeon, no idea why it ended up there (this in no way helped her with her phobia, cos it looked like they were actually looking for her)
I managed tohlep then, but if it was vermin, she'd have been on her own!!!!

I wouldn't say i have a phobia about pigeons but i most definately don't like the vermin with wings. It really irritates me when i see those silly people feeding the nasty things, if i had a air pistol i think i would be shooting any that came into my garden.

I do not dislike pidgeons its the people that run certain restaurants. In my town quite a number years back our town center was like London but in a smaller scale till certain little restauranteures came along and like magic the pidgeon numbers reduced till there was but a few left. The restaurants were booming and well on there feet guess what the pidgeons are back and multiplying till when

Yes, I have to say I agree with you on this one, one flew down while we were in town and landed on our bag of chips and started eating them-he was all diseased looking(plus our last money to buy chips and we were starving), but saying that, even when I go to my mates house (she has a budgie in a cage) I ask her not to let it out while im there -I get frightened to death. I think its the flapping of the wings to me, especially if a bird is distressed, I have a fear they will fly into my face or peck my eyes out or something lol. I live on the top floor flat and some crows were fighting on my roof yesterday, all the feathers came floating down and I could hear them thumping the roof, then one flew into the window. I was peeing my pants with fright!

Not phobic about them but I hate town pigeons. If you want to get some revenge give them a MacDonalds fry. They can't eat them, it'll just get stuck on its beak so it'll flick it off and repeat the whole process again and again until the fry has fallen to peices. It's a hoot!

HA ha I can say that I have phobia about pigeons, but I say that they are a little annoying. But seagulls are worse!

Pigeons, no. Crows... yuck... especially the fearless flocks of oversized monsters that live around here! They have actually *attacked* my Pit Bull... a freaking *bird* attacking a Pit Bull! I guess *they* haven't heard all the stories... or like me, they sense his true nature...
