My aunt has a bird problem. They have nested on a beam on the wooden roof over her patio. She wants them gone.. I put bird spikes in the area and they made a nest on top... so you think a salt or pepper round would damage the wood? I'm pretty sure it would kill or greatly wound the birds.

where does she live?

 

Discharge laws need to be considered

High velocity airsoft gun will kill a bird at short ranges and will have minimal damage to the home if you don't miss

I've heard of hand loaded rock salt rounds; not sure they are a good solution here.  Never heard of a pepper round.  Maybe just wait to season the birds until they are dressed out and in the pot...     

 

A pellet gun or .22 birdshot round might be good options, depending on distance to the birds, to the roof, to neighbors, etc.

Season Shot is made of tightly packed seasoning bound by a fully biodegradable food product. The seasoning is actually injected into the bird on impact seasoning the meat from the inside out. When the bird is cooked the seasoning pellets melt into the meat spreading the flavor to the entire bird. Forget worrying about shot breaking your teeth and start wondering about which flavor shot to use!

Know your discharge laws in town first. PS - Go silent.

 

We had lots of birds nest in barns (farm kid).   wrist rockets or pellet guns were the weapons of choice.   We also had bird traps.  The looked like bird houses on top but the bird house had no floor and had a long piece of 4" pvc pipe instead.  The birds would enter the birdhouse and fall down the pipe.

She is in upper darby pa. The distance is maybe 5/7 ft from the front door

Bird bombs.

 

 

If you can't get bird bombs, are they low enough to hit the nesting birds with wasp spray? I bet that would do something.

Pepper spray might work

The best is 7 ft tall maybe 8

um I dont think bird bombs will work (edit):(in this situation)

 

 

It's not a short range solution. It was sort of tongue and cheek. Anybody asking about shotgun rounds for nuisance birds is going to get bird bombs.

I gotta get some of these for deer in my crops

Leave the nest in place and spritz it with ammonia. After they are gone a few days, remove the nest. Leave a couple ammonia cotton balls stuck in the spikes...

Excellent solution, ecologically correct, quiet, and eliminates birds and mice.

I bet this guy has some ideas:

I'll second lowslows airsoft idea. Borrow a quality rifle from someone. A quick machinegun burst would kill them very quickly

And airsoft guns are still considered toys!.... For now

Put a rat trap on nest. It worked well on the bats I had entering my gable vent once. 

What type of birds are they? We had mourning doves invading my old house when I was young. I liked them.

 

Even if you just get rid of the nest, do it before it gets warm and they lay eggs.

Do what you like but most people don't realize that it's a Federal offense to disturb migratory birds or their nests (if that's what they are, although it's a long list).
