Getting Over a Fear of Birds
This is how I did and you can overcome a fear of birds.
Supplies
DSLR Camera
Figure Out What Your Afraid Of
This is the most important step. You need to find why you are scared. I was always scared of birds attacking me.
Get the Camera
Find a good camera either new or used and make sure it is within the price range you want to set for yourself. I use a Cannon EOS rebel T3
Find Birds
I found most of the birds I took photos of in my backyard. You can look in your backyard too or go to a bird sanctuary, park, or anywhere birds are.
Why Take Photos
I started because it helped me learn to identify different birds based on behaviors, sounds, food, and whereabouts. Learning these things helped me learn that birds will not attack a human unprovoked. Learning this really helped me get rid of the fear. Hopefully it can help you also.
