As a bird obsessed kid, it was usually the vulture. It’s a fierce looking bird, but it’s not really dangerous. It just wants to feast upon the remains of those who once lived. It has no incentive to attack humans, and, indeed, while doing so, provides a useful function for the local ecosystem. And India managed to almost completely kill off their population, and render half of the species of Old World Vultures critically endangered with an antibiotic.

I always get flocks of turkey vultures over my neighborhood
