It has always amused me that the tourists to the US that I’ve spoken to are often very excited to see raccoons, and disappointed if they don’t see them before they leave.

Some others I’ve noticed on the east coast of the US are blue jays and cardinals. Boy, do people get excited about those if they’ve never seen them before! Very pretty birds of course, just very easy to get used to and see as uninteresting as well.

    There’s three different species of Ibises in India:

    • Red-naped Ibis
    • Black-headed Ibis
    • Glossy Ibis

    But we don’t see them as garbage birds - they’re quite rare in cities, and you can only see them in towns, villages and forests.
