I hate birds. I think they are creepy and gross. I've made occasional exceptions in the past when visiting the San Diego zoo with my mother for some of the cuter brightly colored varieties (from a distance), and also for penguins. I love penguins, but I count them as extraordinarily cute fish rather than birds to avoid cognitive dissonance in the blanket statement, “I hate birds”. . . .
