How can I overcome my fear of Birds?

Answer 1

you can try being hypnotized. They can bring you to a Hypnosis state and they can take your fears away, ive seen it done on tv but i dont know if it works.

Answer 2

Figure out what caused your fear. What does your ornithophobia link back to? Maybe when you were little, a bird escaped from the zoo during your visit. Or maybe you've witnessed a bird attack once in your life. There is almost always a reason as to why you're afraid of something, and you need to go back to it. 4 Realize that most of your fear is irrational. The chance of a mutant hawk attacking you from above is extremely low. Catch yourself when you come up with these outrageous cases, and tell yourself that will never happen. For most people, telling themselves that it's almost impossible for these things to happen do a great deal of good. 5 Talk to someone. It doesn't need to be a certified therapist, just someone who you trust. Explain to them what you're afraid of, and why. Just getting your fears out helps. Talk to this person regularly, and give them updates on how you're doing. 6 Face your fear. Visit a zoo, or go to the park. Just go somewhere where there are bound to be birds. If you go to the park, feed the birds. Let them come close to you, and don't tense up. If you go to a zoo, visit the bird section. Become comfortable with being close to the birds and being around them. After a few days of being close to birds, you should overcome your fear.

Answer 4

I was terrified of birds--hated birds. Then we moved to this log cabin in the country--I started with hummingbird feeders--just one away from the porch, I was fascinated by them!! Then I got 3 more hummer feeders. Then a little birdbath, and then a finch feeder (pretty little yellow and black birds). Now I have all kinds of bird feeders outside the house. Still won't have a bird in the house, but I have a whole new appreciation of them and enjoy watching them feed outside!

Answer 5

Watch the Alfred Hitchcock movie "The Birds". Then visit Bodega Bay, where it was filmed, then run like hell. When you wake in the morning, you'll feel better.

Answer 6

Systematic Desensitization. Slowly expose yourself to the stimulus. Then gradually get closer and stay for longer periods of time over time.

It works! I did it with tarantulas.
