Randomly remembered that “favorite animal” post and realized I did not include grackles in the tags. Shameful!!!
Grackles are great cuz they are mother fuckers
Nothing cheers me up faster than seeing a grackle hopping and skipping away from bigger birds while holding a bundle of french fries in its tiny beak, literally could fly away but chooses to flaunt its bouquet of potato. Fuckhead behavior.
I figured the greater antillean grackle (or Chango was well call them) were the only ones like this, but when I went to the US, i was so delighted to find out the grackles here were slightly bigger but overall The Same personality. Bastard across borders.
I love pigeons too, but there’s amusement in seeing grackles literally trick pigeons into dropping their food.
Also look at this please. This is what a bird that lives in La Perla and tricks pigeons out of their money looks like.
How handsome can you get. I love you changos!
