What is the fear of roosters?

The fear of roosters is known as alektorophobia. It is a specific phobia, which means that it is an intense and irrational fear of something that poses little or no actual danger. People with alektorophobia may be afraid of all roosters, or just certain types of roosters, such as large or aggressive ones. They may avoid places where roosters are likely to be, such as farms or rural areas, and may experience anxiety or panic attacks if they come into contact with a rooster.
