Birds are awesome, but grackles are considered pests and a nuisance.

Grackles are Blackbirds. As a kid I grew up in Shreveport seeing tens of thousands flying over every evening. Used to shoot and eat them (fried).
Nowadays, you have a mixture of Grackles, Cow-birds, and red-winged blackbirds tend to flock together. I don't see the huge flocks of blackbirds any longer. (Monroe). I believe red-wingers outnumber the blackbirds now.
Cedar wax wings also use to be in huge flocks, several hundred at a time. I stopped shooting them (as a kid) when I realized they were no "sport". Dumb birds would let you shoot them and not fly off. Love privet.
On the subject of birds......I've watched the road runner very slowly populate north La. As a kid I only saw them when we went to east Texas. I noted them on the Shreveport outskirts one day. Then, after a long time noticed them east of the Red River. Last one I saw was in west Ouachita Parish.
