Don't like birds, especially the dumb ones that fly into things. But, I do like chicken, and eggs.
Took a shot at a woodpecker that has been putting holes in the trim board of the house with the BB gun yesterday. Wonder what the gal I walked past on the sidewalk thought of me holding a "black rifle (not technically rifled, so is it a BB musket)" as I posted up on a neighbors tree. The woodpecker is the most skittish bird I've ever encountered, hence the need to post up in the neighbors yard from the sidewalk. Any closer than about 100ft and he flies off.
Don't know if I got him, but I doubt it from that range, with iron sights, and wind. Might be investing in a scoped, rifled, pellet gun sometime soon.
