OK maybe just appeal to the animal lovers amongst us but you never know lol

Name one animal you'd like to either introduce to or ban from your country. Put aside the obvious sensible reasons not to introduce non native animals. Just a bit of fun.

Myself. Cockatoos, strange but there you go.

I bet some of our Aussie members would ban them lol

No snakes are fine. Says he who lives where there are none. Kept snakes as a kid.

We already have green Parakeets. There was quite a colony in a local park when I used to live in Twickenham.

European otters I’ve only ever seen a pair once I’ve seen lots of giant otters, we actually had a family of six on a boat trip on the Pantanal where I saw my one & only Tapir.
Mosquitoes what do they actually do apart from biting you …

Agreed flies as well perhaps send them all over the Irish Sea :lol:

I’d love to see a badger and a pine martin have tried on several occasions to see them but no joy.

Actually I love the bird wildlife here in Oz, near where I live we get the Black Cockatoos, Rosellas, Lorikeets and the Kookaburras. The latter are like an alarm clock as they usually kick off around 5am laughing!

I'd ban mosquitos & flies, both really annoying creatures!!
