Common grackle (Quiscalus quiscula), is a species of bird that belongs to the family Icteridae. They are large, black birds with iridescent feathers and are known for their bold and gregarious behavior. They have black feathers with an iridescent blue or purple sheen, especially on their head, neck, and shoulders. Their eyes are bright yellow, and they have a long, pointed bill. Common grackles are opportunistic feeders and have a diverse diet that includes insects, fruits, seeds, small mammals, and even other birds' eggs and nestlings.
