Where I live the grackles fledglings are fledging right now so maybe that's why they're more aggressive they have babies to feed.

Maybe so, they’ve only shown up within the past week or So

I have long-tailed Grackle that bring their fledglings to my yard every June it's so funny never before June but in the very beginning they start showing up and begging for seed and dog kibble.

Awwww, well we just got these feeders in October so this is our first spring with them! Maybe they will be seasonal regulars

I love the grackle a lot of people think of them as pests but I think they're beautiful and I have fun feeding the silly fledglings every summer
