I know grackles are not corvids, but I think they've got to be damn near as smart, and twice as bold, and ten times more intimidating.

Indeed. I have some first hand experience to back that up. image

That's about right. Was once at a pool and had some fries. Damn grackle was stealing them. I didn't see that it had walked through them or anything, so I thought, "okay I'll throw a napkin over the rest." Nope. Little fucker sauntered up and pulled the napkin right off them.

I have also been intimidated into giving them pizza crust, and I have heard stories of a one-legged grackle landing in a plate of nachos mid-meal and just KA-CAW'ing at everybody until they let him have them.
