If you come to Australia, don't feed the roos, mmmkay? Authorities have been fielding multiple reports of kangaroos getting their heads stuck in bins. They say it's because tourists have been feeding the roos, so they're not feeding themselves in their usual habitats. www.abc.net.au/news/2024-10...

Apart from the obvious...snakes, sharks, crocs, spiders, jellyfish...we always steer clear of roos, emus and especially cassowaries...never feed them...they're all mad!

Same here. Locals feed them proper kangaroo pellets. Tourists give them bread and crap. Personally we’ve chosen not to feed them. But would if there was a serious drought. Or like after the bushfires. They love sweet potato.
