We used to take them down with my Daisy BB gun whenever they were still long enough to aim accurately. The regular old BB pellets would hit them hard enough to knock them down, but the regular BB guns didn't have enough power to make a hole in the roof if you missed. I am afraid a more adult type air rifle might hit too hard and put holes where you didn't want them.
The barn cats sure liked it when I would shoot pigeons or sparrows for them! My Dad also encouraged me to get rid of the birds, since they made an awful mess where they roosted.
Later we screened all the places where the birds had been getting in and didn't have much problems with them after that. Only sometimes when a door was left open for a long time.
I still have that BB gun. It doesn't hit as hard as it did when it was new, but it still works. Not bad for over 50 years old.
