Trying to identify the bird that ate my tomato’s?
I live in New York City (Northern Manhattan) and I planted some tomato’s in a large flower pot and put it on my fire escape. They sprouted and were growing strong but one day I caught this group of black birds with yellowish dots and a yellowish pointy beak eating my crop. They have a nest inside an electrical box under the 1st floor fire escape (I live on the 2nd floor). They look like crows but just smaller and the sparrows and pigeons don’t even mess with them. What are these birds? Is anyone familiar with them. I’ve always seen them but never thought about what they are until they robbed me of my plants. On the internet the only birds that they look like are Grackles but they don’t have a purplish head.
YESSS!!! Its the the European Starling I just a pic of one. Thanks!!!

I am a “bird freak”, have many feeders, but the small black birds are eating all the seed in a few days! SOS!
I bang on the window, have hung windchimes, and sent my small poodle out to “get um”, but no avail, they are eating all the seed , 25 pounds in a few days, and scare all the others away. Can anyone give me some advice on how to keep the black birds away? My husband wants me to stop feeding them, but I just can’t do it!
Help me, give me something to work with. I know you guys can help me.
THANK you all for any good hearted advice.

How do I keep large black birds away from my bird feeders?
I have bird feeders in my yard to feed the tiny little birds that fly about, especially this time of year when it’s really cold. The problem I am having is that there are alot of crow / black birds in our area and they are absolutely relentless when it comes to the bird feeders. I really don’t care for these black birds at all. They eat or destroy all the food for the little birds in a short amount of time. Does any one have a sensible solution to this bird problem, besides shooting the black birds. We have plenty of woods and fields for these black birds to hang out in….Not my bird feeders!
