I stopped at the shopping center last week to pick something up and on my way back to my car I saw this grackle steal a dog biscuit from a bowl in front of one of the shops and fly it over the the fountain. I grabbed my iPhone and started taking photos.
He kept turning it over in the water as though he was trying to soften it up a bit. Besides being scavengers, grackles appear to be pretty smart too.

A clever and stunning bird. Very crow/raven like.
The ravens that visit my garden do the same with some of the food they find.
Wonderful colors too
This grackle is definitely not a bird brain. ~(‾▿‾)~
He sure is smart and I like his beautiful blue colour!
That IS pretty smart!
Clever little thief!
I think that isn't the first time that he has done that! Good to catch it, Sharon.
Clever bird! I've seen crows do the same thing here.
That's one smart bird who got himself a treat.
