Greetings to All:

This evening around 5:00 PM, I watched a Common Grackle take a part of a moth 
ball that was in my backyard and rubbed it over its feathers for about 10 
minutes.  

It dropped the moth ball several times and would scratch with either a leg or 
its bill and then pick up the moth ball and rub some more.

It looked like it even might have taken a bite off of the moth ball, shake its 
head and then rubbed up under a wing with its bill.
