Anyone have any idea how I can get rid of these stinkers?
I enjoy running out the door yelling "GRACKLES BE GONE!"
Bonnie:
Unfortunately, yelling is about all you can do. They have displaced nearly
every other bird and won't ever, ever, EVER go away. They're a good (or bad)
example of an introduced species that muscled in on the existing ecosystem
and expelled every competing species. I hope you're old enough to remember
robins and jays and cardinals and mockingbirds and other such - they're
becoming more and more rare and will never make a comeback as long as the
grackles are here.

one of the joys of living inn a small town is you CAN do weird things
we had some grackles move into the trees near our truckstop several
years ago when my son was still working there they tried shotguns for
a month on the grackles we still have em even blowing them out of the
trees didnt work----
I hope you can find out somthing to rid yourself of them they are a real
pain
