Phobias are difficult to control. In the case of animals, there is even a specific term: zoophobia. And you can have any species, from cockroaches, to dogs and even pigeons. It is not always possible to avoid some of these animals, even more so if we walk through a park, where a good number of pigeons tend to concentrate, for example.
That is the image that a mother found when she went to visit her son, who lives in London. Both were walking through one of the parks surrounding Buckingham Palace, the official residence of the British monarch.
On their way, they encountered dozens of pigeons. And her mother almost fell into a daze. "When I reached the end of the park, I fainted," explains the woman, while her son records her with her cell phone, in a video that has ended up going viral on TikTok.
The young man asks her not to be so exaggerated. But the woman sticks out her chest: "No one understands me here. I've been here for two days and no one speaks Spanish. I'm bitter because I only talk to you."
The woman becomes more and more nervous as she sees that she is crossing the park and it does not end. In addition, pigeons do not stop being found. "Either you throw them out or I don't care about Buckingham Palace," she warns him.
"I'm sick. I swear to you. Put your hand on my heart and you'll see how bad it is," continues this mother, in a video in which it is not possible to see if she finally arrives at the official residence of the British monarch.
The scene has generated hundreds of comments on this social network. "It represents me 100%. I got up from a terrace and went for the pigeons," explains one user. And it seems like she's not the only one who's terrified of birds. "I understand you perfectly. I have a phobia of all birds in general," comments another.
