Altercation at the Bird Feeder - 11 June 2018 (Original Photos/Video)
This day I was a witness to an altercation at the bird feeder that is full of mixed nuts.

Altercation
The setup, there were a few Common Grackles upset that a squirrel was monopolizing the bird feeder full of mixed nuts.

The Common Grackles had been feasting on the sunflower chips in the adjacent bird feeder. But overnight somehow the squirrel guard on the feeder slid down to a point where the Common Grackles were having great difficulty in eating the seeds. I think either the squirrel or raccoon used their weight to push it down while climbing up to the feeders.
And so the altercation between the Common Grackles and the squirrel.

Here is the full video of the altercation. The altercation ended when something scared both the birds and the squirrel away.

Today I refilled the sunflower chips and pushed up the squirrel guard on the feeder. This will let the Common Grackle eat the sunflower chips out of the feeder.

Thank You!
Thank you!
sir, i am happy etcmike its great to see you again with a very good post, thank's for sharing .
the wrath of the birds is more than justified, the squirrel monopolized the feeder for a long time, I I was watching the video and, although the birds attacked the squirrel, she did not leave the feeder, I think I was happy trying the seeds.
Honey, it was a very good video, I felt some pity for the squirrel, due to the attack of The Grackles.
I assure you, @yenipaola, the squirrels in my area are very well fed.
Have a wonderful week!
