They're Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!

Good day loyal readers. This is The Daily Bone and I'm your diligent doggie reporter Chester L. W. Spaniel along with my trusty associate Joseph (Joey dog) Spaniel. 

The grackles are back! There are lots of them this Spring. They're making forays into our yard where they chase away the other birds before they voraciously consume bird seeds and suet cakes, and then poop all over everything. Ghostwriter thinks they're possibly one of the most annoying birds ever, especially when they drop poopy bombs all over the cars! The males put on elaborate displays of courtship, puffing out their shiny black feathers, and letting out an unearthly shriek that sounds like fingernails on a blackboard. They are quite vainglorious, and have extravagant formal names to make themselves sound important.

Here's one now. It's Dipsy Splatterplop raiding the window box feeder!

Effluvium Scatterstool is giving us the stink eye. 

Oh look! There's an cute little chipping sparrow! And photo bomber, Stinky Guanomaker!

Here's Crappy Dingleberry trying to get the goods from this feeder. Little does he know, the feeding ports close up when heavy birds like grackles sit on it.

The glamorous Poopsy McStagger has arrived on the scene! 

The paparazzi has arrived too. The Crapenheimer brothers, Screechie and Squawkie, have been following Poopsy around everywhere she goes. 

Oh no! Four of them! Let's see if I can get their names right! That's Seedy Turdflapper up on the feeder, and Dropsy Dungflinger,  Grubby Waddlesquirt, and  Precious Wormgrinder strutting around in the grass like they own the place. Below are the twins, Ordure and Manure Meadowmuffin.

It's Shiny Takadump attempting to land on the feeder. 

Does anyone know this one's name? 

Grackles raiding the bird feeders, chasing other birdies away, and pooping everywhere!
