Nancy, the Bluejays around my house eat my Barnswallow eggs and babies out of
the nest.🥲🥲I’ve seen them do this. I used to have so many Barnswallows nesting
at my home, but not anymore since the Bluejays have moved into the
neighborhood. My husband says it’s just nature, but it really makes me sad.
Grackles are meat eaters. I’ve seen them eating mice, prairie-dog and fish.
Before I saw those things happen, I thought they were just Walmart trash eaters.

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.
