BIrds from far away, are nice. And interesting. But when near. They have something about them.. like they're nasty. Just like rats. Is it because they are descendants from dinasours. And maybe my dislike of them is actual fear of dinasours?

Fear of certain creatures seems mainly genetic. For instance, I love spiders, snakes, birds, cats, etc. But many people are terrified of some or all of those. If an ancestor survived because of avoidance of a particular thing, he might have passed that avoidance on to his children.

I had a friend who was terrified of birds. My parrots certainly can do damage, especially with their beaks. But they aren't mean, just stinkers. Not domesticated either so that makes a difference too.

If birds did have dinosaur ancestors, then there were some pretty smart dinosaurs. If we are connected to our evolution and heredity, and I believe we are, then your fear of birds is probably inherited.

Fear of dinosaurs would have to have been passed on by an ancestor who was on earth at the same time as the dinosaurs. That was long before humans evolved.

Birds are like rats?

What kind of birds have you owned?

I have had birds all my life, my grandpa raised budgies and cockatiels, he also had pigeons and doves. I've never met a "nasty" bird.

I have met nasty people that have no idea how to raise birds or care for them.

A pet is only as good as its owner. That's my opinion.

What do you mean like rats? Or nasty?

I've had pigeons and sparrows, they were not rat like or nasty.
If you are talking about wild birlds, then they are more then likely fearful of you...
