Default shotting pigeons with BB gun?

shooting, not shotting

I bought a cheap as, single **** lever Daisy bb gun on a fishing trip last year just for fun. I am having a big pigeon problem at my house now. I started shooting the wall next to them and they fly away, but they are getting braver.

if I shoot them, will it hurt them, can they still fly away? Im not really into shooting animals, not to mention I dont need disable birds flopping aroun my back yard, my Cocker Spaniels are already losing their minds as it is.

Yes it can kill them. Depends on how far away you are shooting from.

30ft. I just went out and shot at them again. I just want them to go away. We filled up a space from last year, and now they are bringing sticks and **** to try to get in. they fly into the wall, drop all their sticks and take a ****, and its right next to my back door. its really annoying.

go out back with a fried chicken leg and sit there and make them watch you eat it, explain to them that this happens when birds **** at your back door, next thing you know you might be eating pegion legs lol......

It won't take but shooting a few of them and they might get the picture for sure!

Even if the bb doesn't kill them it could get stuck under their skin or just disable a wing or something. If you are going to shoot them, shoot to kill but even that I don't know how I feel about LOL.



I like the Falcon idea

we were working under a fuel island at a trucking company and peigons kept crapping on all our tools..
It only took one time to figure out we had a problem. Brought my 10/22 up there with some Agulia Super Colibri ammo , lets just say we blamed all the dead birds on the bird flu
had stacked up about 40 of them nasty jokers.
