- Grackles aren't an uncommon sight (or sound) in Houston, but this is just crazy! KHOU 11 reporter Brett Buffington recorded this Jan. 29, 2020 at the Kroger on S Post Oak (Meyerland).

They're not crows, they're Grackle. They go to Texas for the winter. They feed on plant seeds, including wheat grain, and in groups are called a "plague". This video was taken in January, in the middle of Winter.
even cooler than a murder imo
If that happened near me, I'd toss birdseed... They're migrating; they need rest and food just like you would when you travel.
@@johnwright7956 Bring at least one bag of peanuts. They like to play catch. Some of them are really good at it too.
I had one who caught 20 out of 20.
They wii play until your arm falls off, or you run out of peanuts.
They don't "Go to Texas" they are here year round.
@@MAGAMAN Your username explains your ignorance. There are multiple species of grackles. Many populations of Common Grackles are migratory, thus, some spend the winter in Texas.
I grew up in Maryland and once a year or so a flock of grackles would congregate in our yard. I think it was usually fall or spring early in the morning. I always liked them and was impressed with how they all seemed to communicate and move all at once. I live in GA now and one showed up on my bird feeder recently. Hasn't brought its friends yet but I was reminded how I like them. Hard to believe people are afraid of them, or threaten to harm them. This might be a nuisance but its certainly not a threat and they have as much right to be there as we do, if not more! Give me grackles and dandelions over another strip mall any day.
I love Grackels. ❤
They're really quite pretty too, iridescent colors kind of like a hummingbirds and yellow eyes.
Grackles have extremely smart intelligence too up to par or smarter than smaller parrot species
You're my kind of girl. Grackles are beautiful fliers. Like a plane from WW1.
Humans are quite selfish, any animal people don't like is deemed unworthy of existence.
As a grackle lover, this looks like heaven
The birds heard there was a clearance sale in Aisle 9 on birdseed!😆
Noice!! Love It!!!
Hello Linette how are you doing today.
They can't buy birdseed.
They don't have any money.
I wish I had known that. I'd have been there to stock up for my pigeons. Self involved narcissistic trendy urban hipsters hate them more than the Grackles.
Wats funny u Betta b humble u must not kno wat dis mean
The person running 🤣🤣🤣…..birds just chilling on top of cars😂
If it's a newer plaza, those birds might be looking for the places they used to roost that are now paved over.
😢😢 I was wondering why they flock to public areas like this
yes, that's what i was coming here to comment...that it may be their normal roosting area on their route has now been turned into a housing development :(
Hello Deanna how are you doing today.
@@photonpt3970 .....and so, once again the humans destroy the home of the critters and then get all offended that those critters are disrupting the suburban utopia, so that means it's time to kill them all, and set everything right. I guess everybody who owns stock in the pesticide companies will be 100% in favor of all out chemical warfare against them.
As for me, I'll take the Grackles over the idiot asshole humans every time.
That’s sad!
Alfred Hitchcock would be so proud !
🤣🤣
She running for her life 🤣🤣😂😂
She wasn't running fast enough
To cute
Too much junk in the trunk, poor lady hope she's ok.
They're not going to hurt anyone.
That’s the funniest shuffle run eva
Wobbling for her life- Biiiiiiiiiirds!
What Itachi's enemies see after they think they've won:
😂
🤣🤣
They started showing up in Texarkana about 2006-2009. I was born there in 1973, and lived there for about 36 years total. I never saw any there before, but knew immediately what they were when I did. I had been to Eagle Pass, Texas when I was eight, and I have been to the Yucatan and to Cancun numerous times.
They were in Austin in the mid 1990s when I got there.
*The last thing Itachi's enemies see just when they think they've won:*
Damn man if I was there I'd grab the biggest bag of bird seed and feed these little babies. I love this video! Its so cute how can people be scared? Their not even attacking people lol they just chillin and flying XD.
Those birds are commiting the unforgivable crime of disrupting the designer label , color coordinated, politically correct, perfect odor free world of yuppie suburban utopia. Anything that violates that little happiness bubble must be brought to the attention of Democrats without delay so that we can have more huge bureaucracy, lawyers getting rich, and photo ops for blowhard windbag politicians. That will fix everything.
Ahhh a fellow grackle lover. I don't understand why so many people hate them. They are one of my favorite birds.
@@sarahcarrizales9759 They're musicians and comedians, They can look so dignified and almost majestic one minute, almost like they should be on the back of a coin, and in the very next second they become goofy looking knuckleheads. Especially if they're trying to carry something to eat and it's just a little bit too much to carry. During mating season, they do the puff up routine, and they get into soap opera situations when two or more males are trying to impress one female. They really are God's cartoons. They reduce my stress level to near zero whenever they come around and hang out.
I could write you a 500 page book on how much I love them.
@@jpalberthoward9 Yay, it makes me happy to know someone loves them. I have heard people say they shoot them when they are on their property. I love hearing them walk on my metal roof.
@@sarahcarrizales9759 I can't stand when people make lame jokes about killing them. If you look up some of the "Thousands of Grackles in Texas parking lot" videos (there are lots of them) you will read some extremely harsh replies to the killers which come from me. I'm not very nice about it at all because I get incredibly defensive and protective of my little buddies. I also give an explanation of why the Grackles are here in the first place. It has to do with the destruction of the Amazon jungles. When the forests were destroyed, the Grackles migrated north and ended up mostly in the southwest. They don't mean any harm to anybody, they're really just displaced refugees. I did some homework on them once I came to love them. The Audibon society has a couple of pages about them on their website too. It's pretty interesting stuff.
If you see any of my rather abrasive comments on those other vids, please understand that the origin of it is love for the birds.
The winter grouping before they fly South for the winter. Happens every year in later October or early November. Usually they stick to trees and electrical wires
Its already starting here in Corpus Christi, Texas. I love it. Grackles are one of my favorites. I don't get why everyone hates them.
@@sarahcarrizales9759 it's not that everyone hates them, it's just those who cannot tolerate any variation of the routine, and are unable to process the idea that we have to share this earth with the other things that live here, whether we like it or not. You might have noticed that humans are arrogant, narcissistic bullies when it comes to things like that.
Especially when it comes to the bottom line or the paint job on a car.
Birds on the other hand, know nothing of paint jobs, property values or any bottom line. They're simpler creatures, living in the moment. Humans don't understand, and will not tolerate such things.
Ever seen "Avatar?"
This is the cost of urban development. They gathered down the road every year for as long as I can remember. As they filled in the green spaces - AMC theatre, Kroger, HEB, the strip centers along Westpark, the strip centers on the north side of 59, the New apartment complexes, all used to be green space for them to congregate. Those birds simply ran out of places to go. Now the residents that live there will have to figure out how to remove probably thousands of years of migration patterns. I moved out of that area and left it to the birds. The new generation there deserves the consequences. Seeing all of the fancy River Oaks / West U/ Bellaire/ Southside Place/ Med Center/ Rice snobs get pooped on by a giant group of noisy, cantankerous, rowdy, black birds, I find deeply satisfying. The harder you sleep, the richer you get, who cares about the consequences, right?
I feel sorry for them. I am in AZ and once I found a baby grackle and tried to save it in a Dennys parking lot. In a moment tons of birds started to attack me. The baby bird was in good hands.
stuped humans
Were they all built in a the last year? Has the world shrank so massively that they didn't have any place other than a human area to go to? Are you the only virtuous person in the whole country? Do you use any of theaters for entertainment, electric gadgets or buy anything to eat? Do you have any family or kin? Where did you move out where you didn't take any space? Will there be birds there too? And do you deserve the consequences where you moved out? What makes all of them snobs? Do you know all of them? Could you get rich and wealthy and maintain the common touch and love of your fellow beings? Also, did you get an EMF reader to see what wifi levels and signals are interfering with their homing patterns?
@@bobbyjosson4663 All of the anger and frustration is grossly misdirected when it is applied to the birds. They are not even indigenous to the U.S. they're native to Mexico and Central America. They would not even be here if the jungles in the Amazon basin were still standing. When those trees were destroyed, the Grackles moved out, eventually ending up in western states like Texas.
The land where those jungles once stood was cleared by slash and burn methods to make room for the grazing of cattle.
Texas was once the largest producer of cattle in the western hemisphere.
Those cattle are now being raised on the land that used to be the Grackles habitat. With no more trees to live in, the birds had to go somewhere.
The people of Texas have been swindled into trading cows for birds without their knowledge or consent. Nevertheless, there is no malicious intent on the part of the Grackles.
They are, for all intents and purposes, refugees.
The Hitchcock movie
was just a movie.
Interestingly enough, the steaks that you can buy in the Walmart come from the same place where the jungles were cleared to graze the cattle. The birds are congregating in the parking lots of those stores.
Our way of life is compartmentalized. Everything that happens is completely and totally isolated. Nothing has anything to do with anything else. Our is a cubicle existence, where the cattle have nothing to do with the Amazon jungles, the birds have nothing to do with the jungles or the cattle, Walmart has nothing to do with the birds or the cattle or the economy of Texas, (which everybody knows was hurt by the loss of their cattle industry) and the only thing anybody who goes to Walmart cares about is that the birds pooped on their shiny new yuppiemobiles with the 10-12 coats of polyurethane enamel and clear coat and wax from the last trip to the car wash.
This righteous indignation is more than enough to justify killing these birds to protect those shiny paint jobs. It's easier than placing the blame for all of this where it belongs. On the globalist corporations and politicians and lawyers, and the banks who financed the rape of the rain forest in the first place.
That would be too hard, and it would also be heretical blasphemy against the almighty bottom line.
(we can't have that)
So instead, let's all recite the modern narcissist cathecism
"I don't care, it's not my problem"
And now let's go sit out on the redwood patio decks, lounging on our mahogany and rosewood furniture, let's feast on the steaks we got at Walmart and complain about the Grackles pooping on the shiny new yuppiemobiles. After all, if nothing has anything to do with anything else, and you don't care because it's not your problem, then there's nothing left to do but complain, is there?
Except possibly come up with a really efficient and profitable way to exterminate the Grackles.
That'll fix everything, especially if you invest in the companies doing the exterminating.
@@jpalberthoward9 I agree with many of your points, but it's not just the clearing of the forests, but the use of GMO plants and seeds through whole regions and the sterilizing the fields.
And those bird reactions aren't unique to Texas, they are happening throughout Europe, wherever huge untested masts are being placed, including the beaching of whales and dolphins when sonar is used near them.
I don't agree with demonizing those people or any other and their cars, those folks aren't the ones that had all of the 19th and early 20th century trams pulled out and scrapped in every city, except San Francisco, in the late '40s/early '50s. That was done by GM and the tax free Foundations. These same banking/corporate crooks are responsible for the obsolescence of all household products a month after the warranty runs out.
I'd say reason people go to Walmart is that is because the plutocrats that run those Foundations/Think Tanks, ect. shipped out all the jobs out through their political friends in both parties, so it takes both parents to work and make ends meet and all the mom and pop shops and local businesses, supporting local communities have shriveled.
These bankers are also promoting the vegan lifestyle; first replacing organic meats with diabolical factory farmed, antiboitic and hormone drugged animals and now hoping to replace the traditional with cricket and other insect meal gruel they are making, including gmo bio-meat that's being made in labs and has been linked to cancer. The amount of GMO soya (95%), laced into everyday produce is shocking.
Unless a person uses no technology (including plastic chairs or wood replacements), we are in the same boat as the rest, trying to survive in a Mega, multi-national corporate world run by banks and the families that run them, with rules imposed from on high.
I personally would picture them as uncaring, unworthy. And there is narcissism, but that is a conditioning from the culture that's been corrupting on from high and we are all subject too.
There must have been an abundance of grasshoppers, they love them.
Like the movie the Birds back in the 1960’s
YES !!!!
Ani Fosler 😊🙏
That movie scared the hell outta me. I would have just left.. lol... in the movie u couldn't out run them
TAKEELAA Traces I hear you!! Me too!! It was bad!!
I remember watching that . The birds will be on my side . Because I feed them all the time even give them water 💯.
Legend says that one of that crows has a sharingan
😂

This happened at my house on Sunday! It was like something out of a horror movie! I have a bunch of videos too! They stayed around from 11:30a-4:30p.. as much as it was eerie it was totally cool to watch them!
Where’s the videos

@@richardimo4433 .... Why do people have to be so rude? 🤨
Good video quality BTW!! AND THIS IS NORMAL for Grackles. please, people. this does not mean anything. there are even videos that go back (that i found on youtube) from 2017. this has ZERO to do with Coronavirus or any of that end of the world crap.
Ann Lippert thank you! I live in Texas and literally every single year they migrate in huge flocks and like to rest at parking lots and open fields to get food
Hello Ann how are you doing today.
I love grackles. Grackle-Attackle!
"Mom, I want to see crows!"
"No honey, we have crows at home."
*The crows at home:
I absolutely LOVE grackles!! They were everywhere in AZ and now here in TX!! 😂❤ Love them!!
This happens in and throughout Texas every year...
This is nothing new. I’ve lived here all of my life and this is not an abnormal scene outside of the grocery stores in west Houston. Hell, the h-mart off of Grand Parkway has placed speakers with sounds of birds of prey squawking on their light poles to ward off these birds.
You’re wrong; it’s clearly a sign of the end times. I mean, I realize nowhere in the Bible does it say anything about birds, but you need to believe my juvenile fantasies.
Maybe stop reading books and being observant of the world around you, and be stupid like the rest of us? Pff... smart people and their “facts.” Opinions are way more important! If I believe the sky is actually neon green, and not blue, then it’s actually neon green! That’s how the world works!
MrSlanderer So it’s end times every year?? As that’s what these Gackles do! You bible lovers have been banging on about end times for pretty much all my life yet here we still are!! Get a grip.
mike carr Exactly. These morons don’t have a clue of the world outside their buybull.
Sing a song of sixpence
A pocket full of rye
Four and twenty blackbirds
Baked into a pie
When the pie was opened
The birds began to sing
Isn't this a lovely dish
Fit to serve the king
Has anybody else besides me ever heard this before? It sounds English, and it sounds like it's from the Middle Ages. I think it's some kind of code that's really saying something else. Most nursery rhymes usually have some deeper meaning.
I love grackles 💜
I guess I do a bit, I mostly see grackles or doves here in Texas
Repent and seek the Lord while he may still be found!!!!

Every single thing you’ve never seen, always translates to end of the world for you, huh? Every time a new species is discovered... do you take that as a sign of the devil on earth?
H Hardin grackles migrate every year calm down
Pretty with unique coloring and iridescence.
aw they are so cute leave them alone.
I’m surprised at some of these comments. Grackles are known to hang out in parking lots in large groups, so this isn’t anything new or ominous. The grackles are just being grackles lmao
This many?
Andrea Kennard Yup, some flocks can range in the thousands! In fact, grackles may also form flocks with other blackbirds that range in millions. It’s a common behavior found in many species in the icterid family, which grackles are a part of.
@@kolorsoftherainbow4295 Amazing. I love birds - seeing this in real life would just fill me with joy.
Andrea Kennard Same here!
YOU the only sane one here. i agree. why are people making this something more that it really is. Birds just doing bird things.

A real life episode of "The Birds"!
litterly no one:

I remember one year we had grasshoppers in parking lots everywhere.
I remember a influx of frogs one year, so bad the roads were plastered with them
wow! reminds me of that movie THE BIRDS lol.... I never knew what they were called. I always called them "Mall Birds" lol
Reminds me of the song, Let me tell you bout the birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees and the moon up above .......

Right, not because it has any known direct bad effect on humans, bit it certainly messes up birds. From Wuhan we have already seen what happens when balance in nature is disturbed. As a result of domino effect, it may brings hell on people finally.

WOW. stunning timely of arrival
Hello Patti how are you doing today
Freaky Deaky! This is like something out of an Alfred Hitchcock movie.
The poop will be a huge mess
we get these grackle in las vegas like crazzzy. i actually like their sound they make and theyre kinda cute in the fact that theyre harmless and not ugly sounding. theyre not nasty birds like pigeons. but my gosh when they come they come in such numbers to a point that it looks freakish. Reminds me of the old Alfred hitchcock movie The Birds. I imagine that if these birds went super crazy going after ppl like that movie it would probably be quite the nightmare.
Damn, This looks like my heaven.
This is a common site on Ella and 43rd

It’s called migration, every year they do this trust me
Why are yall a thing like this doesn’t happen almost every day
It happens every year here in Texas, they migrate back and forward every year
This is a sign from God
No grackles migrate like this every year. I live in texas and they do it in the winter and come back in spring
Houston, we've got a problem!
Very sorry for you.
just like the Alfred Hitchcock movie
such lovely birds.
Go Grackles go! Amazing. This is totally normal for sure.
A group of Grackle also referred to as a "Plague" of Grackle.
That don’t look to good it does remind me of that movie!! But also something feels like it’s gonna happen n it doesn’t feel good!! Like something really serious!!!
They are doing same in Hubei china. They look as if they're trying to get away from something in the air?

This being Houston, this looks like a regular family reunion
We have had the same thing in Amarillo. Some businesses have cut down their trees to try to get rid of them. Still hanging around. We have Canadian geese here too. There are thousands of birds everywhere!
Sure! Idiots cut down much needed trees for sustaining all life of all things & humans to clean dirty air to try get rid of harmless birds. Typical idiots of human kind.
Hello Reba how are you doing today.
This is what happens when your parking lots don't have trees.
5G radiation is in the air.
Catrasho dude the comments say this is common among grackles
Used to live in ephrata washington had them nesting over my back porch off and on for years,
Imagine if someone ate bread at that moment
It would be the equivalent of taking gum out in class.
🤣🤣🤣
'The [Friendly] Birds!'
They own the parking lot now
Power in numbers
This happened today all around my house . Flying everywhere. I couldn't even get out of my car. Hitting my car , then an eagle came right through them . I see numbers often now. They guide me alot . I would love to know more about why birds and numbers are sending me messages and guidance alot . Do you know why this is?
Looks like itachi uchiha is in a bad mood.
3 yrs later they are still here...was there last night...very strange
Always fun to see these guys, they get all over everything but their not really tame or anything like that. They don’t land on you or let you pick them up.
So many hungry Grackles !!😲😲
Signal transmission from parked Police car antenna - attracts or deflects - like sonic pest control devices
The 1033 Program & Military Surplus for Law Enforcement/FEMA/DHS did more than give them military weapons. Also showed them military tactics & techniques.

I love the bark noise they make. lol. ☺️
