Those seagulls can be quite aggressive! I used to see them at Santa Monica Pier. We'd throw French fries up in the air for them.

When I went to a town the other day, my friend and I had over a hundred pigeons coming straight towards and through us, not one of those pigeons touched us, it was pretty scary though, they came out of nowhere.

You don’t need to throw the chips ( French fries ) up to them, they swoop down and take them - especially on our seafront and pier. They are like bomber seagulls !!lol

Them Coons look cute ! somthing like a Cat ? but they can not live in the house with you, for they are more like a monkey that will just trash the place.

We do not have Coons hear in Australia but we do have sea gulls, but they are not like the ones in the UK i am informed. the Gulls are bigger and more nasty in the UK they say. but here the Gulls will not have a go at you, but they love chips ! always their is one mental Gull in the pack that is ranting like a total idiot at the other Gulls, for it wants the chips, but spends too much time fending off the others that it looses out on the chips.
Just smother the chips with Tobasco and only feed the nasty one hlo

Oh we have Possoms, they have hands on their feet as well, best not feed them, i know they are cute but for the mess they make !

Fruit Bats are cute but you can not touch them.

Yes some the UK gulls are nasty, more when they are on the sea front. We had loads where I use to live , just inland, and they were just hungry for anything. They would attack bin bags if left out- they seldom attacked people - so it must be the chips that turns them into attack mode. Many don’t like the noise they make, but i don’t mind as it reminds me I live by the sea, and I am grateful for that.
Possoms look cute, so do Koalas, but I understand they can be quite nasty at times.

Australian White Cockatoos…..
We have them here where I live and they are the most destructive birds imaginable……they operate in flocks…noisy and relentless. You don’t feed them…..it’s an invitation to punish you, if you don’t.
These leave seagulls looking like harmless sparrows….:nnna

And they look such beautiful birds- much prettier than seagulls - I guess looks can be deceiving( got to be a spiritual analogy in there somewhere !! lol )

Hello @Reggie Belafonte! We had insect bats that would swoop repeatedly down under the streets lights in the middle of the night and catch moths that were attracted to the light. Those moths are also attracted to the fires we would have. Once we had a bat in our house, caused quite a ruckus.

I had a girlfriend that was terrified of the bats. Someone told her they get stuck in your hair and then you have to cut them out.

There is this Youtube video of the raccoon guy:

I thought Coons were wild like ? we had a show from the USA called Turtle Man here and he had a dealing with an albino coon, he had thick gloves on and still got bitten hard ! haha ! not to mention snapping turtles over their.

Another time Turtle Man found some coons under a House, he pulled back a sheet, spotted them and jumped back in fright ! that he may be attacked ! but like possoms they will come to you for food and when they know you well all is good ? a mate had one one sitting on his leg as he was bobbing it about when playing a guitar and singing. He also catches sand crabs. and another boy i know catches mud crabs with his hands down in their holes, he claims they face the wall down their and ya just grab them from behind, like yer right ! not this little black duck !

Raccoons are great at processing areas that normally people would just ignore:
