I absolutely adore these guys here in Utah, they come in swarms every 20 minutes or so to the feeder and to get a bath/drink! I have trained them to come to my whistle whenever I put new cold water in their bath on hot days!! They come swarming in when they hear it! 😊 They make the most beautiful and exotic sound and it always makes me so happy! They all trust me and know that I provide food and water so they come very close to me and have no fear whatsoever!
Man here in Houston, we have swarms of these things in every parking lot, year round. They're kind of a nuisance, but I still enjoy watching them. They're smart too. They come and pick bugs that fly up when I mow the yard.
i have just moved two months ago into Dallas from Boston for some new job opportunities that i won't go into, but i would describe grackles, just living with them for the past 3 months now as both living alarm clocks and relaxed seagulls because they both dominate a parking lot and if you give one food you will have the entire flock but with none of the aggressive hang ups of a seagull and they make laser noises, honestly might be my new favorite bird!!
I just visited Texas for the first time and straight up - these guys were the highlight of the trip. Even saw one in the AUS terminal hopping around on a kiosk.
I don't know if it's the climate change that's brought these birds to my area but I've been seeing a ton of these around lately. I think I'm the only house on the block that has a bird bath and feeders...so that probably helps. I'm in northern Nevada. I've NEVER seen anything like these. I watched them today for a few minutes and Googled it since I'd never seen them before. They're so beautiful!! What a treat!
I'm in Las Vegas, and we used to have thousands of these guys all over the place, now you're lucky to see 3 or 4 in a days time. The beautification committee has been cutting down the big trees, getting rid of all that nasty shade and leaves on the ground in the fall.There are 5G towers everywhere now. Some sources are saying that the microwave signals are extremely unpleasant to birds, and that it messes up their navigation systems. But all that is just fine, because our way of life requires really fast phones so we can text "lol" and "OMG" to each other, and look at lady gagas new tattoo all day. We don't need real birds or trees, we can look at them on our phones.
@@jamespontius5711seems like some urbanization philosophies are becoming more nature-integrating elsewhere but it's spotty and piecemeal and can't come soon enough
@@jamespontius5711I'm also in Las Vegas and I see MANY on a daily basis, they wake me up nearly every morning. They are everywhere 🤷🏻♀️ I adore them though❤
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL birds. It's always a pleasure when I get to watch grackles. I love it when they visit our feeders and bird bath. Absolutely LOVE grackles !!! 🥰🥰❤️♥️🤗🤗
Great video. I am in the Lower Rio Grande Valley ot Texas, and I have a lot of them. I love that they eat the grubs and other bugs in my yard. The females waddle around my yard in groups. They are funny birds.
One of these guys landed right in front of me on the hotel balcony in Cozumel, MX and performed a whole song for me, strutting around proudly. It was amazingly cute!
At my place in Pto. Juarez Cancun last June I had one avoiding a tropical storm on my patio, he even ate from my hand! They are awesome, along with the chachalacas and wild parrots, so many awesome birds there.
I live in Texas so I grew up around these guys my whole life… never stopped to realize how bizarre and unique their calls are… especially considering just how common they are!
my school campus is full of these little guys. I've already started recognizing some individuals, there's a real lanky one that's almost completely black with essentially no iridescent feathers, a chunky female with some cool whote stripey markings over her eyes, one with a messed up eye, the one with a slightly twisted up wing that doesn't seem to prevent him from flying. They have so much character and personality
dude one of them in my friends yard learned how to meow cuz of all her cats and we LITERALLY STOOD OUTSIDE MEOWING LOOKING FOR A KITTEN UNTIL WE LOOKED UP AND HE LOOKED AT US AND FLEW AWAY CUZ HE GOT CAUGHT . HE MEOWED AFTER US EVERYTIME.
From Oklahoma and these birds are seen mainly in Walmart parking lots and overall would consider these birds incredibly loud and obnoxious in that setting... I like them much better in their more native habitat.
My brother works in Galveston, TX and has a family of them that will take food from his hand. The male first, then he started bringing the female. Now they bring the juveniles! The whole family comes every morning to his shop for treats.
I'm sitting in a spot in Anadarko OK and theres a male I've been observing for about 5 days. This is his spot. But, I think maybe he was captive, because his call includes several sounds similar to computer games. More versatile than a mockingbird this one has quite the repertoire.
👍🤚my friend excellent video and captures of all the activities and calls. Just wonderful my friend. Love watching in water. Thanks for sharing have a great week. Take care 💕
That's usually mating season. That's when their musical explorations get really wild. I composed a short verse in their honor. I got jazz musicians livin' in the trees Listen to'em up there Singin' in the breeze The music that they make puts my mind at ease It's always sure to please Even in the winter When I sneeze I too live in LV and I had never seen these guys before. I've broken the ice and made friends with 7 of them, and they show up every day. There's one big one that I call Zorro, and he usually gives us a concert for about an hour every day. It sounds like modern jazz, and he even sang a short little lick that I was able to use in a tune I was working on. I got stuck, so I stopped and just listened to Zorro outside in the tree. He sang about 6 notes, that really sounded strange but usable. I picked up the guitar and copied it, and it fit like a glove. Zorro is now the co-writer of this tune, and he gets "royalty payments" every day in the form of fruit and nuts. Tomorrow I'm giving him some salami that I don't want. He loses his mind over the pepperoni from the pizza. He's a very cool buddy to have come around and hang out with us.
Good evening, dear friend. Thank you for the very nice shooting and recording! . By the way I lost the comments from you in the upset of the PC. I'm sorry. Thank you very much. Tomotugu
Interestingly enough where I live, the grackles make a particular sound that I can’t find anywhere on TH-cam. Here in many parts of Western Maryland the grackles sound like a girl screaming.
I am from Europe, so I not an expert in Grackle calls. But maybe the solution is that there are numerous species of Grackles. This is an overview: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grackle
You are a heartless cowardly scumbag. The English language does not contain the words I need to describe my disgust for you, and so called "people" like you. I hope you get swarmed by thousands of them, and they peck Your eyeballs out and shit in the empty sockets. You are beneath contempt.

I moved to Arizona from New Jersey and never had seen one of these birds before. they're the best!
These birds are the best. Viva La Great Tailed Grackle.
oh his little hops made me smile!

I came here just to transport myself back to our Costa Rica trip in pre-pandemic 2020. Good times!
the grackle call rivals the nostalgia of the mourning dove
Wow what a cool sound. We have common Grackles. They don’t sound anything like this bird. Great capture.
They just chuck.
Here in SW Texas, great-tailed grackles are common. The males are very handsome.
I used to call those dinosaur birds since it sounded like something in Jurassic park 😂 then a little research told me it was a grackle.
I live in Texas so I grew up around these guys my whole life… never stopped to realize how bizarre and unique their calls are… especially considering just how common they are!
The sound of the Riviera Maya Mexico 🇲🇽 😍 ❤️
0:30 was so funny 😂
Got spooked by a leaf floating down the river lmao
Wonderful montage of this bird with yellow eyes. It looks like a bird that we have here. It's always nice to see them in the bath. Great video!
The sounds of South America, so peaceful. Thanks for the upload !
South n central america..

Arizona also has these beautiful birds
Yeah. I searched for this video just because I live in Arizona and I see these all the time.
As well as California, Texas and Southern Nevada
Grackles are gigantic assholes
My brother works in Galveston, TX and has a family of them that will take food from his hand. The male first, then he started bringing the female. Now they bring the juveniles! The whole family comes every morning to his shop for treats.
She’s so funny. 😊❤ really enjoying her bath.
BEAUTIFUL birds and so fun to watch. Similar to crows as they're quite smart and they LOVE peanuts in the shell.
I absolutely LOVE grackles. ☺☺❤❤
Love these guys. I have a bundle of em that hang in our backyards and one always comes and eats my breakfast with me
I hear these every morning in Yucatán Mexico when I wake up 😍
Great to hear its calls and also to see the female! Beautiful capture!
I saw them in Yucatan as well. They are funny creatures
Their sounds make me happy and relaxed. I feel like I can go to sleep on this❤️
I love this bird so much!

one of my favorite sounds...it is calming for some reason..
👍🤚my friend excellent video and captures of all the activities and calls. Just wonderful my friend. Love watching in water. Thanks for sharing have a great week. Take care 💕
I’m in Las Vegas, NV. They are chirping loudly from around 9pm till 4am non stop during the months of April and May on the big tree in my front yard.
That's usually mating season. That's when their musical explorations get really wild. I composed a short verse in their honor.
I got jazz musicians livin' in the trees
Listen to'em up there
Singin' in the breeze
The music that they make puts my mind at ease
It's always sure to please
Even in the winter
When I sneeze

I see them every day in my front yard and backyard here in Costa Rica
It's amazing that these are like pigeons in Texas. Every parking lot is full of them. People take it for granite.
It is the same in Costa Rica (and Mexico).
My most favorite animal in all the world.
Wonderful video 👍
Funny bird.
They look like theyre having a blast
These guys have extended their range into Kansas. They seem to like big parking lots.
I didn't know you could find them this far north
I heard them in southwest Kansas in the morning. What a beautiful song.
When I buy corn chips or tortillas as the grocery store I will crumble some and toss them out in the parking lot before I leave...for the grackles.
so nice yellow eyes - great share my friend - many thanks - like 32 - have a great evening and week - warm greetings Petra
Good evening, dear friend. Thank you for the very nice shooting and recording! . By the way I lost the comments from you in the upset of the PC. I'm sorry. Thank you very much. Tomotugu
I just seen a Great-atailed Grackle for the first time! It was glorious
Excellent job with the video, exactly what I needed for reference.
Wonderful shots
One was on my front porch, he was bigger than my cocker spaniel
The best.. in Mexico.
Good video Friend! Thank you for sharing it with us.👍😎JP
What a wonderful name :)
@@BirdBath1 Gorgeous! Thanks so much :)
Nice, we have the Boat Tailed species in VA.
Great Kiskadee at 0:39
Great video. These birds are always very noisy. 👍👍👍
Thanks for sharing
Een vreemde maar zeer interessante soort. Bedankt. Jarmila
Nice sound. Thank you for sharing.
Wonderful upload!
Beautiful video. 👍
0:28 he got spooked by the leaf 😢
Che meraviglia un vero spettacolo un verso mai ascoltato prima super video like
Aka the wal mart bird

What's next? Go to the hospital and take all of the bolts out of the wheelchairs?
I like to sit in our backyard hammock and play this so that the grackles flock in. Then my dog chases them around
💖

bird get bath
Nastiest birds ever my dog caught one and killed and and my dog got sick and died later that week
Dang, sorry. I hate these birds too. Everyone seems to love them for some reason. 🤷🏻♂️
