A bb gun / pellet gun makes it very easy to get them. The most important part of the gun is a add on lazer. Shine a flashlight at night till you spot the bird, then shut the light off and put the lazer red dot on the bird. You don't have to be a good aim as you need not shoulder the bb gun. You can shoot from a ladder, or shoot it off your hip. My sons and I used to do this often for farmers / friends. We always used the pump guns so you could use only as much power as you needed. Often we used a Co.2 cartridge if it was alot of birds. The birds will seldom if ever fly even with the red dot on them.
It seems to work better with two, one on the flashlight to spot the bird.
I would wonder if you purchased a bb gun and lazer for a neighbor kid on the condition it was his after all birds were gone?? Be sure to purchase saftey glasses. We always used saftey glasses and a cutting torch full face mask with a clear lens in it, as eye sight seems rather important in our lives, let alone a small boys. Our rule was any boy without both glasses and a mask on had no turn shooting, rather ended up holding the flashlight all night.
We did notice that the very cold winter nights, the birds were less likley to leave the building, especialy in a snow storm with lots of wind.
They also make a CB round for 22's that have very little powder, but extra expensive.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
