it doesn't sound like you would be killing them for fun... rather you view them as a nuisance. that said, i think there are non-lethal methods... maybe like an eagle statue or something, i dunno.

It's not wrong to kill pigeons per se.
It's not necessarily 'right' to have fun doing it.

But if you HAVE to kill them, one might as well have fun doing it.

Get the pellet gun out and have at those flying rats. Piegons, crows and starlings all suck and deserve to be eradicated.

I have a problem with killing things for fun. However, killing something because yo uthink it's fun to watch it die is different than killnig something because it's covering your entire property in bird feces.

Feed them alka seltzer tablets, then watch as they begin to fall over or drop out of the sky dead.

..I've used rat traps on em..glue a peanut to the trap trip. Works every time. Their poop caries lots of disease that can be breathed into your lungs when it dries out and becomes airborne.

Just remember this -

To us he was Colonel Sanders.

To the chickens he was Colonel Eichmann.

I think that it's legal to kill pigeons, starlings, and sparrows without a permit and they have no hunting seasons.

Shooting a firearm (or a pellet gun) are obviously up to local regulations.

Unfortunately 99% of the trash talking animal cruelty buffs on this forum would have you believe they kill for fun.

Guess you've never lived on a farm or know anyone that does huh?

It's actually a humane way to do it, snap, there done. No suffering at all.
