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.
As a local I smile seeing lorikeets and kookaburras, but rosellas are very rare where I am and I have to do a double take
Where I am the lorikeets and rosellas are often together, like double dating
