There are a number of predators that kill blackbirds. One is the cat (many people think of cats as cute and friendly, but outdoors, they can hunt and kill all sorts of birds). Other predators that kill blackbirds include raccoons, certain types of snakes, crows, owls, hawks, and red foxes. In addition to predators, there are also certain parasites that are fatal to blackbirds.

well, blackbirds are the most common to eat tadpoles. Tadpoles are VERY fast swimmers, and blackbirds are VERY fast at catching their prey. but, hawks and eagles eat tadpoles as well; but not as much as blackbirds because, hawks and eagles eat meat that are land animals, besides frogs, toads, and some reptiles, but if hawks and eagles need the tadpoles to keep themselves or their babies alive. most likely, for their babies. birds would die to keep their babies alive. same goes for owls. so, the birds that eat tadpoles *rarely and frequently* are: owls, blackbirds, hawks, and eagles.
Yes, but these two rarely come into contact. Pigeons will avoid any raptor.
There are different ways in which you can keep pigeons away. Some methods include a sound deterrent and a decoy.
Snowy owls keep the Lemming population under control.
Other predators of blackbirds include Raccoons, snakes, crows, owls, hawks, and Red Foxes. Some parasites of Red-winged Blackbirds include blood-sucking flies, lice, and mites. When breeding season is over, Red-winged Blackbirds join enormous flocks, often mixed with Grackles, European Starlings, and Cowbirds.

Keep Blackbirds Away from Bird FeedersMy friend who is a member of the police department swat team uses an air rifle.You could paint the feeders blue & red. This may not keep the black birds away, but it should draw more blue birds & cardinals. Bluebirds are very territorial and if you get enough of them, they might run the black birds off.Use safflower seeds in the feeder, instead of corn or sunflower seeds. Blackbirds and sparrows don't like them, but cardinals do.After feeding birds for 15 years, I can tell you that there is no successful way to keep the blackbirds away from your feeders. The best you can (which is better than the two ways above) is to invest in the feeders that only allow the small birds to eat. Some have weighted ledges and are designed to keep squirrels out, but also make it difficult for the heavier big birds. And some have a cage like apparatus around the feeder that allows the little birds to enter to the feeder but keep the big birds out. However, even this is only partially successful, because there will still be ground feeders and blackbirds that will come and sit hoping to figure out a way to eat your seed.

Bluebirds are larger than other birds such as sparrows and finches. They are smaller than most woodpeckers, robins, blackbirds, owls, and hawks. So they are more medium sized.
