An irrational fear of bearded vultures, also known as lammergeiers.
An individual would usually fear the bird's rather peculiar and menacing look or how the bird might accidentally drop bones on them from a high place in order to break and consume them. In extreme cases, this can even lead to the individual fleeing from the scene when a bird of any size flies over, fearing that it may be a bearded vulture.
If an individual has an existing phobia of anything related to bearded vultures, such as cartilogenophobia (the fear of bones - the bearded vulture's diet consists of mostly bone), they may also have the chance of developing this fear.
