americans....

Great-tailed grackles RULE. I love how loud they are. Almost as loud as a gaggle of teens outside the mall! Plus their walk is silly and their beady yellow eyes are funny.

Then we call them animals.......fucking humans always ruining and killing everything.

People suck.

"turdus" (juvenile, I know)

"the birds affected are not in pain as concluded through an independent study"

Some of those folks wouldn't consider that much of an issue

Hmmm, which people?

death will usually occur within an hour

And if grackles had opposable thumbs and access to projectile weapons, they'd wipe us out. I'm not trying to be a jerk here - your point is fair. Frankly, humans annoy me much more on a daily basis than grackles do. But, they're grackles.

I kind of assumed that. My point is that if we were to compare humans and grackles objectively, humans would likely be far more annoying.

Raptors? Yeah this guy will scare off all the birds.

people suck.

As someone with a grackle tattoo (that's my shoulder up there) I feel inclined to challenge you to a duel.

That comes from the makers' own site.

Are you really saying having a seizure and dropping out of the sky isn't painful? How does it feel to be a corporate shill?

Fuck that. I saw Jurassic Park. And genetically modifying them to fly?! Are you insane??

sure lets not use our chemical companies and use a bunch of hippies who raise falcons. lol

Of course the avitrol website is going to say their product is humane.

Poor grackles. I worked in Houston for the last 16 months and those were my favorite birds down there.
