Watch the 'common grackle' do it's crazy squawk sound. I always love watching the funny things birds do, and grackles can do some interesting things. When a grackle does this loud squawk, it seems that his whole body kind of blows up like a balloon - all his feathers are pushed out, and he makes a quick screech sound.

  • I think they blow air into their heads n stuff.. I seen a doco where a certain bird was doing that when diving into the water to catch fish..to protect it's brain from the impact like an airbag or something.

  • Yikes! Makes sense, but is utterly strange. Kind of like those birds that fluff their feathers in an interesting way in BBC's "Planet Earth."

  • crazy how it puffs up like that

  • True - I don't know exactly how they can puff up so much!

  • Be sure to watch the video in 'high quality'!

  • I feel the same way about grackles, they are very interesting and highly intelligent birds. We see them take food from our neighbors dog bowl then fly over to our birdbath to soak it and eat it :-)

  • I blow air into my head and wear socks
