Besides rats and cockroaches (the latter I unfortunately already met in person in our bathroom), Manhattan's wildlife mainly exists out of pigeons. Of course there are other birds in New York, but these "rats with wings" as some New Yorkers call them are everywhere - as is normal in a big city. I'm sure you just pass them by and do not pay any further attention to them, but just imagine what a hard life these grey feathered friends must have! Fortunately there exist people who help them out: on New York City Pigeon Rental Rescue Central, you can read just a few examples.
