Encountered a truly annoying bird in Phoenix--the Common Grackle. We don't have Grackles in our area. They are noisy, messy and will take food right off you plate if you dine outside. I shooed this one away and he flew up in a tree and looked at me upside down for a while. Then he flew up on a branch over me and dropped a "gift" on my shirt! Nasty birds!

Truly annoying and nasty just about sums them up. Far too many in our town.

I agree with all you say but just watch how they can twist and move their tails. I find them fascinating and amusing and yes, a little cocky.
Wayne, that is a splendid picture of the saucy little daredevil.

We have what are called Purple Grackles. A number of them in our neighborhhood; no problem at all. Think they are a rather pretty bird.
