Pigeon Hating (yoll)

I have been dating a girl for the last two and a bit years and if you ever get the chance to meet her you will honestly believe in your heart of hearts that she couldn't harm a fly. After knowing her for a little while though, I discovered the fun fact that the girl loathes pigeons. "They are filthy and just plane disgusting."

The girl attempts to kick them wherever she goes and will squeal if one gets within 10 meters or so from her. Too classic in my mind. Is there a fear of pigeons? You know like arachnophobia for spiders except what would it be called for pigeons? Flyingrataphobia, foulaphobia? Anyway.

Her latest 'worst case scenario' happened in New York, when a pigeon attempted to mug her of her 5 dollar Magnolia bakery cupcake. Unacceptable! This impolite gesture from Mr pigeon was met with a swinging handbag and some naughty words that I've never heard her use before. Ultimately she is not fond of the cities flying rats but approves of doves as they are "pretty". Gosh!
