Grackle is also synonymous with "dead bird" in my backyard. Taken out with  
an English-made, nicely figured walnut stock Air Arms TX200 Mark  V, 
silenced 
.17 pellet rifle. When the Brits abdicated the right to  own firearms, they 
became really good at crafting guns that went "pffft"  rather than "BANG."  
 
Of course, spreading like a cancer as it always does, gun control in  
England 
has now eaten away the freedom to own an  air gun. Ninnies.

In  English it's spelled "grackle", not gracel, grackel or gracle.  Rhymes  
with "crackle."  ;-)
