April 20, 200917 yr I have 2 pairs of HUGE annoying birds that live in my front yard. They crap all over our cars and mke the street look like a zebra. The little kid who lived in our house got crapped on one year (On his face) !LOL! Even though its really funny I would probably kill these things if they ever did that to me. I have several pellet and BB guns and a brick of .22 aguila calibre (The practically silent .22 LR ammunition) I don't want to use either of them. The hose for the garden isn't strong enough to reach them and even though I destroy there nests in the fall (I dont wana kill the babies) They come back....How can I get rid of these suckers?! I dont want to kill them...but I would like them to nest somewhere far far away...
April 20, 200917 yr Eggs are not babies, eggs are food. Continuously destroy their nest regardless of eggs in it or not. Even birds will get the idea eventually that the area they have choose to nest is not a good one. I wouldn't shoot in the city limits(assuming that you are) even with a BB gun. NJ just seems as if not more crazy than Utah if you ask me when it comes to guns http://www.sltrib.com/news/ci_12164099
April 20, 200917 yr Author Get a working dog. ? They never land in my yard they just sit in the trees and crap everywhere. It often consists of shells so I would assume they feed primarily in the bay (<1 mile away) I wouldn't shoot a firearm within city limits.
April 20, 200917 yr Author Just went to the link! My friend is a LEO for atlantic city and he lets his boy shoot his BB gun in the back yard...whats the big deal? Its not discharging a firearm within city limits its a kid getting into the shooting sports.
April 20, 200917 yr Author meh....I know a kid who is about 16, he has a bunch of airsoft guns but Its in the middle of the street....I dont think neighbors would appreciate a 16 year old with a replica M9 or MP5 shooting at birds....portrays the wrong Idea. My brother works at a paintball store and is a very experience player. He owns a couple markers but I think this is the same problem. Also, Ive seen someone shoot a squirrel with a PB gun before, the ball hit him in the head...He didn't die but he was pretty stupid. He fell from the tree and looked to be in quite allot of pain. He had to kill him. Not good times I need to find something else.
April 20, 200917 yr Author The only thing I find weird about BB guns...They treat it AS a firearm...ok. So its a rifle right? Now...when I go into the local store I can buy pellets for it and im only 18. Huh?
April 22, 200917 yr Stones, throw stones, just watch the impact area. One of the oldest weapons known to man. TC
April 22, 200917 yr Author Too high...I know this is going to sound weird...but I cant throw a rock all the way where these guys are. Turns out...throwing stuff UP is really aqward...I just granny sling a 2x4 up flinging up into the tree and it hacks branches down.
April 22, 200917 yr wrist rocket and pebbles Slingshots are illegal in NJ without an FID. You can't legally hunt with them or discharge them in any "no discharge" area. Just like BB/pellet guns. BTW, you didn't mention what kind of birds they are. If they're a game bird, there's a legal season, and taking any out of season would be considered poaching and you could be fined. Check the Fish & Game regs. Yeah, it's a PITA here in PRNJ Ken

Good to know we broke the law...
April 24, 200917 yr Sssshhhhh. No statute of limitations the police may be watching or reading. Admit nothing deny everything and you might even get elected. TC
