Well, my only real phobia is the dentist. I know exactly what they do and I know it doesn't hurt, but I'm still terrified. I do have some slight fears, not "scream and run" types of fears, but "avoid this thing" fears. I have a fear of birds. I love birdwatching, but I stay respectfully away. Long necked birds like flamingos and geese. Something like a pigeon or a chicken I can hold in my hands, but I still feel fearful when I'm holding them.
