Anatidaephobia
MovieDoc tells us that Anatidaephobia is the fear that a duck of being watched by a duck. See the video he led me to below. I am so glad this one was not on the Psychiatry Boards.
Cute. Maybe that is why Newfie (my dog) ripped the squeekers out of his big floppy duck toy I bought for him, and now the duck lies face down.
I like ducks. I never have been too thrilled about geese, though. I used to photograph portraits at a lakeside park and sometimes geese would run at and try to bite my clients. Geese can be nasty.

Wow. That was, special.
I feel like this should fall under a broader category like fear of being watched by any animal/object/person in a delusional manner.
I take it the "duck" being watched by a "duck" is a University or Oregon "Duck" (their mascot.)
Very clever.
