For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.We have so many of them where I live, they are now being considered vermin by some and they want to cut down the population. They're getting braver too. I often see them hovering very low when someone is cooking and they have been seen to swoop down and help themselves to BBQ food thats left unattended. They are quite a site.
milly, I'm really sorry but reading your statement that Red Kites are not birds of prey puzzled me a bit, http://www.birdsofbri...eatures/red-kite2.asp
They are more known as scavengers, carrion feeders but they do indeed hunt live prey.

I find the best way to deal with a phobia is to learn to understand what you're scared of and to see the beauty in it.
I've made myself watch documentaries about spiders and I read about them whenever I can. They fascinate me. I still can't actually handle them, but I don't run in a blind panic from the bathroom anymore when I see one.

I feel for you Bobbisox. My sister has pteronophobia (fear of feathers) and in the 60s it was laughed at. I am ashamed to admit that I was a little sh!t, chasing her with a feather.
I now realise of course just how debilitating a phobia can be.
Good on yer for not blaming the birds and still appreciating them [from a distance lol].
