I've tried these with mixed success.

On their own they haven't worked, but with nest removal they have sort of worked, they haven't come back into the same area....starlings are the main problem.

Best results were shooting them.....nothing works as well as that. Just use appropriate shot so you don't end up with a very leaky roof.

Poisoning takes too long, is management intensive and not really humane IMHO.

was a favourite for us kids growing up to shoot the starlings of the gutter with our BB and Sluggy's from Kmart, no birds or cats were safe when we got a new pack of pellets lol

Same here. Until the neighbour noticed me shooting a seagull on the ridge of the roof and it took off and made a very noisy, rapidly descending circle into the neighbours back lawn and flayed around for about 10 minutes until I could get another few shots into it. Made a bloody mess too. Got the jug cord from dad for that when he got home.

new barrel and the swapped out scope recticle is all great I ran it in last weekend very happy plonked in 5 super centers at 600 yards

The barrel run in was tad tedious,,, shoot deep clean repeat several times... but i was happy to follow the gun smiths instructions show and tell even using his 45.5 g of 2208 which i thought was a tad big for the rig but they flew well..

My brother and I shot out every glass isolator on the powerlines within a 100mtrs of our house..
Neighbour across the road used to call the coppers every time he heard gun shots, but not once did they come to our place, always tore past at high speed and head up past our place...must have been a known crim living up there somewhere

all my airfix models tanks planes and ships suffered holes from my .177 diana

 

[chippy]

We had a Crossman pump action...with a.built in MAG to take the BBs.

Itd take 40 pumps, mounted a scope on it and I could hit the bolt heads on the swings in the front yard at 60 yards

 

[chippy]

Actually was probably 40 yards but everything seems bigger when your a kid

i still love to shoot flying rats with my .177 or my .22lr off the shed roof or the top of the chook pens.

What?

No more chainsaws Aus?

Couple of good chainsaw groups on there.

WFT do you buggers pay hundreds of $ less for the same model fish finder/chart plotter than what retailers expect here in NZ. It's a conspiracy! Rip the kiwis off. Stuff the warranty, I'm buying one from Aus. The Kiwi retailers can kiss my arse.
