I eat redwing blackbirds but I would not eat a nasty grackle. They are roosting in 2 magnolia trees in our neighborhood and stink bad.

Grackles travel in "packs" not "flocks"

no no no, you dont eat red-wing blackbirds. one, they nest over sewage ponds and two they eat carrion. Blackbirds do neither.

I eat country redwings. No sewage ponds. They're not much different from dove taste wise.

Just to clarify, the black birds all over parking lots and high line wires right now: Edible?

No. Even grackles have the good sense to avoid Orlando.

Redwings are classy birds compared to grackles/ricebirds.

Businesses would pay us to net as many birds as we could drag from their lots in every state.

Can you imagine the Raising Canes of black birds profit potential?

Same family of birds, but there are different species of both grackles and blackbirds.
