Victoria dear, I think you took his comment out of context. ;-)
I personally found it to be humourous and I think he meant it to be such!

While I would NEVER "celebrate" the untimely death of thousands of
grackles, he did have a point! In some areas there are far, FAR too many
of them and as a result, the population is none too healthy and they can
cause a health hazard to other species in those great numbers.

Where did you read that grackles cause a health hazard to other species of
birds?

Niche crowding and starvation,
HUGE piles of guano in plants and under trees and roosts.....

etc.

I wanted to know where you read how grackles cause a health hazard to other
species of birds.

Why do I need a physical reference? ;-)
Personal observation is sufficient...
