I heard wild jungle fowl is not legal to hunt unless they are destroying your crops.

... despite being feral, the chickens fall under the domestic bird category, and consequently, out of DLNR's jurisdiction.

Just don't shoot your pellet gun in the cemetery next door ....    :geekdanc:

I would have done a controlled harvest.
Think of it like a food delivery service.
I tried that with the wild chickens here in Waipahu, but the flock just disappears for some reason.
Probably because most of my neighbors are Filipino.
 :rofl:

I do chum the barred and laceneck doves every morning.

   Wrote a post about this a few years back.

    Flock of feral chickens tearing up my yard cuz lady next door feeds them,
I dispatch in my yard with pellet gun, she calls cops.

    Cops says animal cruelty, I so no, I'm hunting and feeding to my dogs.
He says "Got a hunting license" ?
I say no need, feral chicken not on the DLNR list.
He says no diis-charging "fire arm" in city limits  :crazy:,
I say not firearm, air rifle and perfectly legal to shoot as long as projectile does not leave property.

    Cops fine lady next door for feeding feral chickens.  ;D

Been sorely tempted by the damn Myna birds keep stealing cat food off the lanai and taking huge dumps all over.

Wife whines when I state my wishes, but the crapping is getting on her nerves too.  I suppose Mynas are not considered a pest like rats?

Best thing is remove the food.  After a time, the birds will look elsewhere.  Birds remember where they find food and will not stay where there's none.

Learned that at the San Diego Wild Animal Park show: Birds of Prey.  They have a pre-show thing where doves fly in a flock above the crowd in formation in a pattern then return to their coop.  The humans discovered they were missing doves after every show.  Turns out a pair of hawks discovered the dinner bell rang every day at the same times.  After stopping that part of the show for about a week, the hawks left and never came back.

There is a section in the law that allows killing of pest animals and pests are not specifically defined.

I saw some recent reports that meat plants on the mainland are shutting down because of the wuhan. Made me think of picking up a pellet gun to hunt birds if no can get meat. Would be picking off chickens pearl city get plenty. and I would have no shame laying down on the grass at the zoo offing all those fat pigeons for their tits ;D if got to.

I feed our outside boys when i get up, come in to check news, and wander back out after a while.  Some time the damn birds are just starting to scout, sometimes they have already stolen food.

Darn outside cat might right nearby drowsing and not do a thing.

Thought of trying to make a snare, thinking catching one might freak out the others, without nailing him with the air rifle.
