Fun bird fact: "Parent birds generally eat their nestlings' feces when the nestlings are young and carry the feces from the nest as the nestlings get older." #tmi #birds #cleaning #nesting #nests https://academic.oup.com/beheco/article-abstract/2/1/69/375701

Common grackle (Quiscalus quiscula) at the water bowl. I recently learned (minutes ago) that they collect fecal pellets from the their nests and drop them into birdbaths. This one is definitely looking guilty. #tmi #birds #grackles #nature #birdbath
