BB gun for pigeon problems

[Cricky]

I would like to buy a BB gun in Pattaya. 

Got a big problem with pigeons (rat with wings) 

 

Any info would be great 

????

[banglay]

I had the same problem .. I bought a airsoft pistol from lazada .. fires plastic pellets . it will not kill them but it makes them think twice about returning .....and it did the trick for me

Paintball guns, BB guns and airsoft guns are not considered firearms, so it is legal to possess them without having a permit or registering them. However the owner must comply with the following conditions:

• The gun hasn’t been modified to use CO2.

• Only plastic bullets are used – no metal bullets or marbles may be fired.

• When carrying the gun outside of the owner’s property it must be packed in a safe case or box. It is not allowed to be carried in shirt or trouser pockets, nor can it be left out in the open.

• The gun can’t be used to commit a crime or torture animals.

If you do happen to kill them, take them home and eat them.  Braised, very good tender meat.

I see idiots feeding them along the Dongtan Beach of a morning exercising. 

 

Actually, these idiots are everywhere 

 

Yep, rats with wings

I remember trying pigeon (as a dinner) in a country pub in Sussex, as I had never tried it before.

 

It had been hung for quite a while I think, as the flesh was a bit dry and powdery, but the most off-putting part was the lead shotgun pellets in it!!!

 

Won't happen with plastic pellets of course, and braising with garlic and red wine should do the trick!

Motion sensor alarms are cheap and can work.....if you can put up with the noise. Plastic snakes also good but you have to move them around or the birds get used to them.

A youngish bird fell off my roof last week and was almost dead. I was going to put it out of its misery until a local cat came along and devoured it, except the wings. I was amazed how quickly it happened. I want that cat to live on my roof !

Hey there's a thought, the only problem is I hate cats just as much as I hate pigeons

A friend of mine bought the robot owl and another couple of supposed "pigeon scarers" because he had a pigeon problem at his house, and when I next saw him I asked him how it was going and he replied, "it seemed to work for a couple of days, and then I looked out of the window to see what was happening and one pigeon was trying to f..ck the owl, and another one was trying to feed the "pigeon scarer".

 

I know he was saying it in jest, but what he was trying to put over was that neither worked!

Must have been an Australian pigeon.

But cats don't $hìť on your head!

Can't you put up netting to keep them off the places they are roosting?  That would be less expensive, less time consuming, more humane and 100 percent going to work than other methods. 

 

They are creatures of habit, and if they can't roost due to the netting they will find somewhere else to go and then stay there.  Then you can take the netting back down if it looks unsightly.

My notes say nothing about killing!  If the killing is swift is it torture?

With plastic pellets I doubt it would be killing them.....

Try clubbing them with the gun!

If you sprinkle salt on their tails they cannot fly and you can pick them up!

That's a malicious rumor concocted by the Orstraylians.  The only place in the world you can buy velcro gloves is Australia.

If you attck them with salt would that not be classified as asault and maybe classified as torture as we are all advised that salt is bad for us?

[Gsxrnz]

To answer the actual question, the stalls on Pattaya Beach Road used to sell air pistols and the like. And they seem to be open at the moment after the plandemic closedown.

What sort of range does it have ? I remember I bought one years ago , and you could see the pellet leaving the end of the gun and landing about 5 metres away. Pathetic it was.
