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.
Dinah, ClinkShrink, & Roy produce Shrink Rap: a blog by Psychiatrists for Psychiatrists. A place to talk; no one has to listen. All patient vignettes are confabulated; the psychiatrists, however, are mostly real. --Topics include psychotherapy, humor, depression, bipolar, anxiety, schizophrenia, medications, ethics, psychopharmacology, forensic and correctional psychiatry, psychology, mental health, chocolate, and emotional support ducks. Don't ask. (It's not Shrink Wrap.)

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.
