That last bird looks very much like the English Jackdaw. The bully boys we have in our garden however, are huge numbers of starlings, who roost at a nearby nature reserve. I swear they spend more time shrieking, squabbling and chasing smaller birds away, than they do feeding.
We too have a large number of European Starlings that act the same way. The bird on the feeder that looks like your English Jackdaw is a Common Grackle and they are indeed bully birds. Not fond of when they come to visit. Looks like from your posts that you too are having a bit of winter weather. Stay warm. Spring will soon arrive.
