The term anatidaephobia originates from the name for the biological family of waterfowl that includes geese and ducks ('Anatidae') and the Greek word for fear ('phóbos'). Anatidaephobia might not be real or officially recognized, but that does not mean that a fear of ducks or geese is not possible.

Why do I always feel like a duck is watching me?
Anatidaephobia is commonly understood as the fear that somewhere out there in the world, at any time, a duck may be watching you. Those who experience this fear are not necessarily worried that the duck may approach or attack them, but rather are afraid of being watched or tracked as they go about their business.
