....grackles....

Not knowing what a 'grackle' is, I looked it up and I'll post it here in case the term is unfamiliar to others:

Web WordNet 2.0

Overview for "grackle"

 



The noun "grackle" has 2 senses in WordNet.

1. hill myna, Indian grackle, grackle, Gracula religiosa -- (glossy black Asiatic starling often taught to mimic speech)
2. grackle, crow blackbird -- (long-tailed American blackbird having iridescent black plumage)

I'm guessing that you're citing these as a negative because they exist in such numbers that they've become pests in Texas?
