Here's somebody's blog post about grackles' fondness for dropping feces in water, written from the perspective of an annoyed koi-pond owner. The author gives the usual explanation that behavior reduces nest predation (presumably because fecal smell is attractant). I couldn't find support for this hypothesis in the primary literature, however. Nor could I find support for the idea that a clean nest reduces parasites such as flesh-eating flies. But I'm not a birdologist so I could have missed the definitive paper. https://www.pondtrademag.com/blackbird-gift-sacs-the-airmail-no-pond-keeper-wants/
