It's Puff Grack season! I love the Grackles, and about a week after their arrival they have started to show off. Please enjoy the Grack Waltz! (Unmute for max fun!)
MOST ICONIC BIRD CALL BRACKET: ROUND ONE: WILD TURKEY vs. COMMON GRACKLE
IN THE BLUE CORNER, we have the grim gobbler, the harbinger of the harvest, the wild turkey!
weighing in at up to 11kg/24lbs, this heavyweight of the bird world is not to be underestimated. unlike its domesticated cousins, this bulky combatant is an agile flier, able to soar into the trees to roost at night. you'll recognize this unforgettable bird by its famous gobble, a noise loud enough that it can be heard up to a mile away. its opponent better be ready to reap what it sows, because the wild turkey is fighting to win!
IN THE RED CORNER, it's time to make some noise for our next competitor. hailing from backyards across north america, it's the one and only common grackle!
with a piercing gaze that can intimidate even the most seasoned wrestlers, the common grackle is a force to be reckoned with in the ring. it's a master of intimidation and knows how to use that to its advantage. this bird's call is metallic and harsh, being compared to a power line buzzing. so get ready, because the common grackle is here to prove that it's the baddest bird in the business. are you ready to witness the power of the grackle?
