Anatidaephobia

Anatidaephobia: (n) The fear that you are being watched by a duck. From the
Greek word "anatidae", meaning ducks, geese or swans and "phobos" meaning fear.

This article has quite a discussion of phobias, which I think would be of
interest to this group, and some personal stories involving the interaction
among a few. Well worth reading.
