bird probably has a nest nearby and is hyper aggressive until the little ones fledge
i think you just got to wait it out
when i had Blue Jays (the American kind) nest in my yard i just wore a special hat with lots of metal on it to keep them from hitting me on the head but the smaller birds could take care of themselves because they’re more maneuverable-- i think your smaller birds will come back when the Jays finish
i’m guessing a Eurasian Jay from a subspecies that has a black crown & also is photographed from above? (there seems to be more than 1 & i don’t know this species well enough to get closer on the subspecies…)
did I win???
so round, so floofy… what if i tickled this blorb!!!

She doesn’t look like she’s starving, House Sparrows have been living in warehouses & even the Detroit airport for years
If there’s a food & water source, you may have Sparrows for good
i would not expect her to take Pop Tarts from the hand ??? but her calmness to your approach suggests to me that somebody’s been feeding her (maybe on the sly)-- probably they drop the crumbs for her to pick up instead of trying to hand feed her tho
(males have gray crown & black bib)

not sure where they saw it, but if i saw it around here, i’d call it as Common Grackle
they do have that amount of brown but it’s a play of light type of thing where most of the time they just look like an all-over black bird until the light is striking their plumage at the right angle
