A pair of grackles (large blackbirds with yellow eyes and loud calls) sit on a wire across the street from my house on a grey, overcast morning. Though perhaps fanciful, I can’t shake the feeling that they are discussing whether the human they followed home last night might perhaps be too fatty and high in cholesterol for their flock to consume as their morning snack.
Last night I ate on the patio of a local restaurant where thuggish representatives from the local flock of grackles attempted to extort dinner shares from diners. I declined to share & this morning find these two calling me names from across the street. Coincidence?
