Sure it may not be cost effective but it'd be hella fun
So would the birds be destroyed?
I have no experience shooting small birds with a rifle. I imagine it would be like shooting a Goat with a 105mm artillery round. I never have been a fan of exploding animals for fun, it somehow just seems wrong to me.
I did pick off Lizards with a BB gun when I was young and stupid. I wouldn't kill them. I was pretty good at it, I'd just barely skin their skull with a BB and it would knock them unconscious, ten-fifteen minutes latter they would get up and scurry off.
