Then there are the birds that cannot get enough. These include the sparrows (numerous genera, Family Passerellidae), gray catbirds (Dumetella carolinensis, Family Mimidae) and several kinds of woodpeckers. These birds are all smaller than the mourning dove and grab tightly onto the metal wires of the cage and maneuver around to peck away at it. Grackles (Quiscalus quiscula, Family Icteridae), however, which are quite large birds, love the suet and can reach easily from the platform up to the suet bar and peck away.
Highly interesting and very impressive.
