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.

Wild turkeys can be very aggressive.

Domestic turkeys can as well. I had to beat one of of my little brother cause it was bullying him. In our own front yard. My brother was very satisfied that Thanksgiving

Well that makes me nervous, but I'm thinking the ones by me are just used to people. They're on my landlords yard/in the driveway every day and thankfully they don't seem to care about me lol

Definitely cool to see as someone who spent most their life in a suburban/urban location.
