What about pigeons? Have a bird feeder outside and we used to get a few here and there, but now have dozens hanging out below the feeder.
I used a Benjamin .22 pellet gun to take care of this problem.

That's farked up. You don't just go around shooting things for fun. Just threw them in the trash. Hunting has rules that we all have to follow.

Pretty shitty thing to do but kids will do some shitty stuff...there wasn't an animal safe when I got my first BB gun LOL...
Yeah I never saw it either. Just rumored. Never done it either. When Dad let me have his crack barrel pellet rifle I was allowed to shoot the thieving blue jays and blackbirds...but mom had rules about birds like cardinals and robins and my arse would have been beat if I shot one of those. Never did...never wanted to feel her wrath.

They start foaming at the month and regurgitate/puke it out. Then fly off perfectly fine but confused non the less.
This was told to me by an eyewitness but makes more sense than the exploding stomach theory.

Pigeons are very good to eat. Like a big dove.

Heard of a baw in Rayne who used to shoot whooping cranes, said the meat was delicious. seagulls are nasty arse birds, doubt they are as good eating as whooping crane.
Almost as good as Manatee and Florida Panther...
Sandhills are indeed some fine eating....damned ornery critter that is hard to decoy but when it is done properly the finest wing shooting over decoys I have ever experienced and the finest game bird on the table bar none...I suspect whoopers are just as tasty....

Barn pigeons lived in our barn and ate out of the ag fields in Northern MI. Very tasty.

Bought a Benjamin pump gun 6 months ago with 5 lbs of bb's. When the apocaplse comes , we will eat a lot of sea gulls and pelicans.
Back in the 1960's we did a lot of shrimp trawling and for fun we would float a 6 inch 2x4 behind the boat with a fish impailled on a nail. Bent a lot of beaks

Agents found 14 seagulls, one ibis and one heron.
Taking non-game birds, taking ibis no season and taking heron no season bring a $400 to $950 fine and up to 120 days in jail for each offense. Wilson may also face civil restitution totaling $278.

Many an undercover Fed started his career thusly. Seagulls take a beating to make their legends per this book-
Local Outbaws better keep an eye on that one.

Is the bolt on those Benjamin's magnetized to hold a bb? I didn't think those Benjamin pumpers could shoot bb's.
Well, I guess they could as long as you don't point the barrel down...

That’s 16 birds. Aren’t those charged for each offense? The civil restitution would be on top of that.

Was the Alabama man Harvey Updike?

If I recall correctly, pigeons are just the offspring of domesticated rock doves. I once heard someone describe pigeons as doves suffering from bad PR.

I’d doubt they would be. Sandhills are much more herbivorous than Whoopers.

Over 35 yrs ago when I was working for my father-in-law on his 60-foot trawler I used to hate the seagulls. They would hover just over the back of the boat squawking and shitting all over everything.
I had heard about the Alka-Seltzer story and I tried it but they never would take it.
I started tossing small fish up in the air off the back of the boat and they were good at catching them. One time we drug up an old rat trap in the trawls so I baited it with a small fish and left it out there but they were too smart for that.
Next trip I brought my wrist rocket slingshot and a bag of steel balls. I started shooting them out of the air when they hovered and knocking them off the trawl boom guy cables. FIL came out and saw me doing it and gave me a little hell about it. Said he shot them by the hundreds with a .22 when he was a kid but nowadays "The Conservation" would "book you" for it. Then I got worried about Greenjeans coming and finding us and I thought the damn things would never float away from the boat.
FIL also made me stop collecting small dead speckled trout in a bucket to feed to the porpoises after we anchored for the night. The would come up and take the trout right out of my hand. He didn't want the Conservation to book us.
Trawling was some damn hard work but a lot of great times and memories too.
