I've never encountered a grackle in my life, and had never even heard of grackles until last night. I put them in because, as I'm sure you're pleased to know, there's at least one species which is extinct. And because I liked the word. Grackle, grackle, grackle. It just felt right. :)

Maybe the Gloranthan grackles are different, magnificent flocks of great big
carnivorous birds with glorious plumage flocking in the plains of Rinliddi.
Well, until they all went away... somewhere. The myth does say that the
grackles aren't around any more.
If you want to stop them coming back, it's time to start opposing those Avarnia
heroquesters:
"The grackles are coming back. The Hero Wars are here." :)
