There are many organisms in the world that are vermin. I would
personally consider grackles to be vermin and I suspect I am in the
company of many folks. Although I would not say I hate them, I
certainly have no use for them and it is OK with me if a "drop in the
bucket" number of them croaked.

Are grackles the same thing as starlings? THEY rank somewhere in the same
level as cockroaches in my book.
