I figured it was probably them. Guess there’s not much I can do. Thanks!

Apologies for the morgue description.
I have seen LT Grackles attack House Sparrow and eat the brain. Later I find
the corpse with a half missing head.

Subject: [leasbirds] Headless Sparrows
Last week, we found decapitated sparrows in our back yard, 3 over two days.
This afternoon, I found three more. Grackles were messing with them last
week, plus I saw two grackles fighting over what looked like a new baby
(pink, no feathers). Are the grackles the ones doing this? Whatever is
doing it is not taking/eating the body. Thanks.
