One of the characters of the bird world π If it were possible to cross a starling and a magpie, you’d probably get something like a grackle.

Strutting is exactly the word that came to mind when I first saw the photo, before I read your note.

Grackles are such intelligent birds, and those iridescent feathers are quite something, too. Great capture of the nature of these birds, Belinda. They do like to strut!
