NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- It may not seem like it, but there are eight times as many people than pigeons in New York City. That still pales in comparison to the 400 million pigeons found across the globe.
Because they are so hard to avoid - and far too unpredictable - it's easy to see why someone would be afraid of them.

On this episode of "Your Weirdest Fears," listen as we hear from a few fearful locals about their experiences with the birds. Host Larry Mullins also sits down with phobia expert Christopher Paul Jones, who helps explain how common the fear is, and explains whether or not these birds are anything more than NYC’s natural nuisances.
