grackle

1 The grackles are a federally protected migratory bird species, and the city is legally prohibited from moving or destroying their active nests.

2 They have also been used further inland to ward off pigeons and grackles from locations including U.S.

3 They had their own words for things, a jargon of obscure origin: for reasons even they had forgotten, they referred to butter as cheese; they called the grackles that perched in the treetops icklebirds.

4 It was too clearly a waste, and the grackles set out at once to remedy the situation.

5 A feeder with perches spacious enough for large birds, filled with a wild bird food blend that is rich with nuts, fruit and sunflower seeds, will attract cardinals, blue jays, grackles and other big birds.

6 Postmortem tests of grackles, blackbirds, and other birds found dead on dairy farms detected H5N1, but that didn’t turn the tide.

7 Yet when presented with classic tests given to crows and ravens, great-tailed grackles passed with flying colors.

8 The crow and the grackle in the “Black and part Black” pictures are particularly nuanced.

9 Dead blackbirds and grackles on the farms, as well as barn cats, have tested positive.

10 In birds, dunking has anecdotally been observed in more than 25 species in the wild, including grackles.

11 From gulls to grouse to grackles, more than 10,000 bird species live on this planet.

12 Some 90% of the total loss came from just 12 bird families and 19 widespread bird species such as the dark-eyed junco, common grackle and house sparrows.

13 In March, a man was arrested and accused of incinerating a statue of a grackle that stood outside the building, burning the art installation to the ground.

14 Like the Puerto Rican long-nosed bat or the slender-billed grackle, Ms. Anderson seemed to warn, humans as a species are doomed.

15 In the apple groves at the edge of town, flocks of grackles settled into the branches for the night, squawking.

16 Across three different populations, the researchers first examined how quickly grackles learned food was hidden in one particular place over another.

17 The research is based on new analyses of grackles' feeding behaviour.

18 Later that same day, a large flock of common grackles stopped by and foraged in the backyard by flipping leaves and gum balls.

19 Bruce said he doesn’t have much love for the grackles, starlings and blackbirds that vacuum up all the seed he puts out in the winter.

20 “Get a branch, you two,” said the grackle.
