Birds.
I love watching birds and feeding birds, but I cannot STAND to be around one of those cockatoo thingees sitting on a perch outside of a cage somewhere. I won't walk anywhere near them, and the birds all seem to know this. If there's a cockatoo or parrot or something sitting out somewhere at a display, he'll fly straight at me and scare the ever-fucking shit out of me. And he won't fly at anybody else; just me.
My mother also had this exact same terror of loose birds.
My wife and I had a Mardi Gras mask once that was blue and fashioned out of bird feathers with a little beak attached. It was very pretty, until..... One night she put it on and jumped at me out from behind a door. My reaction was so severe that I pretty much blacked out and she thought she'd killed me. Apparently I stood frozen for several seconds moaning senseless syllables at the top of my voice. Then, I ran full speed through the house. I don't really remember much. We threw the mask away.
