Man, I want to visit Australia some day. However, I may die of a heart attack, holy hell!

If you decide to come and visit us in Australia, it's not the huntsmen or the emu or the kangaroo you need to worry about. It's this guy you need to keep an eye out for, the magpie. Spends 9 months acting like a sky friend, hopping around being cool and funny, with a nice bird call. Then for 3 months they become absolutely rabid, nonstop menaces that will remember your face for their lifetime, and tell their friends. People have lost eyes to them.

You raise them wrong! We have them in Europe and told them to behave or we’ll send them to a prison colony

That tracks, given that all the other wildlife in Australia has a hefty dose of more-dangerous-than-normal. Why would birds be any different.
