Anatidaephobia is defined as a pervasive, irrational fear that one is being watched by a duck. The anatidaephobic individual fears that no matter where they are or what they are doing, a duck watches.​

MORE!
how do you all find these things... or, do you really have ducks watching you? I can see the reality in that for some people.

I read the link and I can see how that would happen. A friend of mine was afraid of feathers decades after she was attacked by a rooster as a child. She said she got over it by telling herself that she was being silly and that there is nothing wrong with a feather. A feather couldn't hurt her.
However, I did not know of her fear and would put a pretty rooster feather in each carton of eggs I gave her.

For my younger nephew, if it wasn't ducks it'd be geese! LOL

I think a turkey is watching me constantly......(Well, when I'm at home.....they peek in the windows......)

Well, they DO!

I could see it happening, if you were insured with AFLAC.

Don't give Maury Povich any more crazy ideas for shows, if he's still around.

so what is it called when someone WANTS /LIKES ducks to be watching them? LOL...We have a retaining wall that is about the same height as our kitchen window and only a few yards away from said window.The ducks quickly discovered that they can see me through that window if i'm in the kitchen...."peas ? do you have any peeeeas ...please?" ..crazy ducks!
