Blather, rinse, repeat

Ah, I assumed starling from the '(I know most people hate these birds but I adore them.)', since everyone wants them dead. Or at least people I know, who do tend to be more biologist/naturalist. I love grackles, they're all over our yard and I love watching them. I haven't noticed any behaviour that would make them irritating, though I do only see them eating and pecking at the lawn.
