    Long before I knew what they were called, I knew exactly what they sounded like. Growing up in Houston those suckers are everywhere. Especially when we would go to the zoo as a kid, there are flocks that hang out there and just call/sing all the dang time.

    People in Austin Texas are waaaay too harsh on grackles. I only ever hear negative things about them, but never anything about their biology and ecology. The aztec history bit surprised me, gonna have to do more research on that. Also Grackles are just silly little guys. They do a practice called “billing” a a non-violent way for males to show dominance to one another. They lift their heads to the sky and the ones who can hold it the longest are more dominant.

    This was such a well-narrated and informative video, and I'm very impressed at the way you handled all the different aspects of the ibis' history and evolution. I'm very curious about the part of the script you had to cut out. I'm currently researching the ibis for an upcoming video of my own and I'd love to talk with you about the birds in detail. Is there any chance we could exchange contact info to discuss what you've learned about the ibis?

    City grackles absolutely get a large portion of their food from insects on automobiles. I have severe allergies and have to live in my car. I watch my graks in the park all day 😂

    • @chironOwlglass
      @chironOwlglass ปีที่แล้ว

      The males seem to tear off tail feathers of rivals. Generally the bigger a male grak is, the more numerous his tail feathers are. Males that have just reached adulthood often have all of their tail feathers removed, with medium sized males having 1-3 tail feathers and the largest males having the truly enormous tails people usually think of
