Two days after the death of my father an albino grackle showed up at the bird feeder; a combo fairy-grackle.

A Magical Woodland Fairy… And then we grow up and want a Winning Lottery Ticket…

obviously the two are related if the same bait works

Seems like one would fly/run/crawl from and otherwise avoid that particular bait. Whether you are a grackle or a woodland fairy. Not health food, to be sure

Being from NYC, I had no idea what a Grackle was. Googled it and saw what a handsome, black bird it is. An albino one has to be very rare and I would like to think that was meant for you, J. Short.

I took pictures of it with an old 110 camera. I ended up with a picture of a bunch of black dots with a white on our lawn.

Or they may give you fairy dust and you can fly whenever you think a happy thought.

wings are pretty. but they get in the way. Pixie Dust makes you fly. So does Faerie dust. Get both and … POW! Zing! WHAM! … FUN times!

“No, that is just the Disney touch. Not the real folklore. They aren’t to be messed with.”.At this point Disney IS the REAL folklore, just as Cinderella’s step-sisters no longer cut off their toes or heels (unless I’m telling it).
