The day 6 months before or after the US Thanksgiving holiday. This is the day that turkeys are at their boldest having forgotten the previous slaughter and not yet aware of the impending doom.

Anatidaephobia is defined as a pervasive, irrational fear that one is being watched by a duck. The anatidaephobic individual fears that no matter where they are or what they are doing, a duck watches.

Anatidaephobia is derived from the Greek word "anatidae", meaning ducks, geese or swans and "phobos" meaning fear.
