A discussion regarding the behavior of grackles and crows in Austin, Texas, and Northern Silicon Valley. Grackles are described as making a significant racket near grocery stores at dusk, while a "murder" of roughly 200 crows has been congregating in California.

00:00 He's the Milli Vanilli of COVID. Adam Curry, John C. DeVore. It's Sunday, February 21st, 2021. This is your award-winning Kimmel Nation media assassination episode 1323. This is no agenda. Drinking dirty water and broadcasting live from Opportunity Zone 33 here in the frontier of Austin, Texas, capital of the drone star state. In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley, where I'm plagued by a noisy dove. And a murder of crows in John C. Dvorak. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill! In the morning! Well, you know, living in Austin, Texas, I'm very sorry to hear of your struggles.
00:42 Is there some bird there that everyone hates and it's like yes the grackle wreck the place the grackle cracker racket? They are they are the birds from Hitchcock and they sit on the phone wires near the near the HGB around dusk They start showing up hundreds of them and they make a racket. Yeah, grackles are not your friend Well a racket maker besides a stupid dove which keeps making hoo-hoo all day and night. In the last couple of days we've had two murders of crows, these flocks of crows. They have these meetings. Now is a murder, is there a number that goes with a murder or is that just an undescribed bunch? All I know is this group is about 100-200 birds. Right. And they just flock around and they land someplace and they just yak.
01:34 Each other they're doing something that they're I don't know what they're doing exchanging data. I have no idea all I do know is that if a bird if you if you do anything to a crow or Ravens are worse, but anything to a crow the crow will look at you and then for some reason every crow in the murder will now all hate you They're supposed to be very smart animals I would think, yeah. Jeez, I hate it when they all turn on you, that's kind of scary. No, you have to be careful, you always have to be nice to crows. So we are in a bit of a crisis situation in Austin. I thought you already were.
