Am Australian, can confirm. Seeing my first wild cardinal and bluejay were like what seeing an echidna or koala for the rest of the world would be like (except I went to them, rather than them come to me like the comic)... You've seen them on TV, now there they are IRL, like meeting a celebrity.

Was very special seeing a squirrel for the first time, and a woodpecker. Growing up in the southern hemisphere isn't just cool for the unusual animals we have, but for the 'common' animals we don't.

Whoa, you guys don't have squirrels?? That is somehow very interesting to me
