No. Not as bad as the grackles and starlings, simply because they don't flock in the same large numbers. Plus, they stick to the ground, mostly (although they do land on the feeder, too).Originally Posted by PamNY
I just have a bias against them. A friends grandfather, years ago, told me they carried fleas. So I've disliked them ever since. Stupid, I know (I would imagine a lot of birds can carry fleas). But...there it is.

I don't think it is fleas, I think it is mites. And, you probably won't be exposed to them unless the grackles/starlings put a nest on your house. Originally Posted by 7rider
