A few days ago, I hung out a suet cake. The smaller birds loved it. Then this grackle showed up. He eyed the cake for a long time.

He flew up to it and swung about for about a minute.

He must not have found it comfortable and easy to get at the suet, because he gave up, flew away, and hasn’t been back since.

I love Grackles. They are hogs at the feeders, but not as bad as Starlings.

Those eyes indeed! They remind me of the witch’s birds in Snow White.

Oh but Hien, if it had appealed to him, I feel sure he would’ve worked out how to manage to consume the lot ! [grin]

You may be right, M-R, but a lot of other birds like the suet, especially woodpeckers.
