Helsinki has feral rabbits in humongous numbers descending from released pets, and also urbanized wild rabbits and hares. This had led to cityfoxes also becoming increasingly common. We also have an annoying large population zoo-escapee geese shitting up the place. -- Cimon Avaro; on a pogostick. (talk) 06:49, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not 100% sure about this, but I think I heard on the TV program QI that there used to be Buzzards in London in the late 1800's, but they were wiped out due to fears about attacks on children. If anyone could provide a source or more info on this I'd be very grateful. Also I heard something about pigeons being introduced to Britain, having been exotic pets that escaped. Again don't quote me on this... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.152.164.102 (talk) 21:42, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The sentences on covid do not belong in Urban Wildlife and not in the Europe section. In order to make sense there needs to be a connection with urban wildlife in some way or how it relates to increased urbanisation of wild areas, or increased mixing of urban populations with wildlife. And there needs to be citations that specifically address these issues. That viruses cross species is alone not a reason for insertion in this article.
