There was one crane in particular that really was a pain though. He had no
fear of humans (because people stupidly fed him bread, etc.) and would walk
right up and into your house, looking for a handout. He'd follow you
around, making a pest of himself until you were forced to lure him away with
a chunk of bread. The neighborhood had named him "Harry" as I recall.

No joke.

At the parks, you will see ducks and geese attacking people to get food.
Animals can become very aggressive and dangerous when they associate
humans with free handouts. They have signs up all over the place to tell
people it is illegal to feed the wildlife, yet you will see mothers
bring their little children down to feed them bread. The mothers always
seem amazed when the ducks/geese nip and bite them. If they had only
learned how to read the signs.
