Description

The greater Antillean Grackle is a large, noisy, some might say obnoxious inhabitant of many habitats except woodland areas. It prefers to live in heavily settled areas and enjoys the company of humans. It eats seeds and insects but loves a small lizard as well as human scraps too.
Size
30 cm
Feeding Habits
Greater Antillean Grackle, an opportunistic omnivore, consumes a diverse diet including fruits, bread, plant matter, small vertebrates, and invertebrates. Its feeding behaviors are varied, often foraging on the ground but also capturing prey in the air, with adaptability in both urban and wild settings.
Habitat
The greater Antillean Grackle thrives in a variety of habitats, including mangroves, marshes, savannas, and plantations, particularly those with coconut palms. Open fields, light woodlands, and both rural and urban gardens also provide suitable environments. This species adapts well to human-altered landscapes, often found in parks and roosting within town and city perimeters. It predominantly resides at elevations below 1000 meters, though it's encountered up to 2200 meters, especially in lowland areas near water bodies such as bogs, swamps, and along sandy shorelines.
