Bad Bird

This is a common Grackle. They are a real nuisance. They are often in large numbers around the feeders and bully the smaller song birds. The flock will quickly empty the feeders. We have to constantly shoo them away.

That sounds like quite a mission but gave you a great photo op! Maybe expensive in the long run too as you have so many feeders ;-)

Sounds very much like our Starlings - the hooligans of the bird the bird world!

@ludwigsdiana We feed the birds sunflower seed and suet. Sunflower seed has become very expensive here for some reason.

@carole_sandford Starlings are a problem here as well.
