Grackles are very smart birds. Really.

The grackles zeroed in on a lawyer who shooed a bird away before he tripped and injured his face, Jue said. The lawyer was treated for several cuts.These birds must be smarter than we are.

Ugh! I hate grackles. For the last two weeks they've swooped at my medium size dog when she's in the backyard. Used to be loud noises would scare them off, but lately I think they've mutated and are no longer afraid of humans.

Grackles are flying rats. Unchecked they can devistate an orange orchard in a few days. Scientists should be researching wheather or not they can be ground into petrolium products or composted into fertilizer. ;o) Send those Grackles or flying rats to Iraq as a new weapon system.

Grackles are territorial when they've fledglings. This happened to me several times over the years.

I'd say "concealed carry" of a TC Contender with a .410 barrel and a bandolier of shells loaded with number 9 shot (since this is in an urban area, and number 9's don't carry far) is in order here, especially given that this happened in Texas. Heh, heh... I like the "bandolier" mental image. Very appropriate for dealing with these feathered "illegal migrants".

Shoot them with a shotgun. It's easier if they aren't afraid.

Yup!
After a few grackles see papa boid or auntie boid take the Shotgun Express to hell, they'll regain their proper fear of humans.
THAT'LL LEARN 'EM!

A robin used to dive bomb me when I was standing up in the family above-ground pool, located under a big maple where the robin had her nest. She'd aim right for my hair.
