Great - Tailed Grackle (1 Viewer)

I have alot of grackles & starlings in my yard. And everytime you move & get up, they fly away, they are away's so scard. My doves just sit there. Well today I notice a female Great- tailed Grackle. She was in my yard all day, & I could get so cliose to her, and she didn't fly away, I was shocked!
Well later in the afternoon, she was still in my yard, I got so close to her, she let me pet her head, & I wanted to put her back in my backyard, becuase she ended up in the front. I picked her up, & took her in the back and she was dying. She seemed fine one minute & near death the next. I stayed with her until she passed, :-C I was very upset.
I had a parakeet that dyed from this pooping sickness. I don't know what it's called but their pooped gets stuck on their rear, and if it's real bad they dye from it. My cockatiel she started to get it but I caught it just in time, gave her medicine, & she' s all better! That Great - tailed Grackle died from that! I was shocked an outside bird had that!
The pet store told me that my cockateil had it because she must be eating to much crackers & stuff like that! My parakeet never ate nothing but birdseed & he died from it. I throw out cookies, cheetos, bread, crackers, ect. To my birds sometimes. Do you think I could of caused that with my Grackle that dyed?
