My channel is dedicated to promoting the safe and humane elimination of pests that can be found in the backyard as well as the farm with some odds and ends mixed in as well.
My main focus is the removal of starlings, pigeons and sparrows from the dairy farms around my area.
Here is brief overview of how big the starling problem is in America.
Back in 1890, Eugene Schieffelin decided to release 60 pairs in Central Park, New York. One year later he released another 40 pairs. Of the original 100, 68 died and 32 survived. Since then they have become a 200 million strong problem. With few natural predators (mostly raptors), they wreak havoc on our native bird populations; Woodpeckers, Wood Ducks, Tree Swallows, Bluebirds, Purple Martins, Great Crested Flycatchers, Screech Owls etc. They can transmit parasites and diseases, including E-coli, which can make the animals as well as humans sick. A flock of 1,000 birds can relieve a farmer of 100 pounds of food a day.

Dairy Farm Pest Control #62 with the FX Maverick
This is probably my last dairy video. Been doing this for 4 years and just can't seem to get any traction. Thanks to all of you that have supported me thru the years. I have one more gun review to finish which is on the Weihrauch Barakuda. Quite the gun.
Hope you enjoy, and as always, pleas leave any comment below.

I finally caught one on Camera. 😀 Picking up where #60 left off, continuing to eliminate more flying pests. Had a number of you ask if I had ever caught one of the pigeons going thru one of the fans on film. Well on this particular session I was able to catch one go thru. It starts at the 11:00 mark. I am using the FX Maverick in .22 and the H&N Hunter pellets. Shooting at 850 fps, this combina...

At one of my dairy permissions and when I drove up to the barn the noise was much less than in years past. But they did have lots of starlings.....again.

Was there for a little over an hour and probably got 200 total. 100 or so fell in the main aisle...

What state are you lowering the starling population ?
Ohio
You could use a narrower suppressor.
I purchased the Tanto from Donny FL and that fits with no issue.
Asshole dont kill them. Fucking murderer
You are probably the best advertiser for FX in the US. Those things are accurate.
Some of the shots I make with the guns still have me shaking my head in amazement. All from an un-rifled barrel.
Well, that gun makes my old Beeman R5 look very outdated (which it is). Nice shooting, what was the average distance of those shots?
20-30 yards are the bulk of the shots.
A few screech owl and barn owl boxes will help keep the number of starlings way down.
Your in a blind right? I go through a lot of pellets but I need to set up a blind. I also want to make a bug zapper for the pest birds with a little more ZAP....just stand in the kitchen and flick a switch lol I make my own suet cakes and have a great recipe and production method ....and yes they will finish a cake in a few hours if you let um! Great video!
Not in a blind. In the house by the doorwall. Just open the sliding door and pick them off. The suet cakes are 20 yards away from the house.
Hi there. I don't know if you're still around but here goes. I use Terminators for all my pest control and if you think they're good in .177, try them in .22, more devastating than Hades. They're not called Terminators for nothing. All the best from the UK. 👍
Yes. I tried the .22’s in my Maverick and they shot terrible.
I suppose there has to be horrible cruel people as well as kind nice people on the planet.
You obviously have no idea what starlings do to farmers and our native bird species.
@@midwestairgunner8500 you obviously have no ideas.
This makes me so happy. These birds have completely destroyed my garden and every year it gets worse. Thanks to Eugene Schieffelin for this plague.
Great work! Thank you.
the sound of pelleting firing is so comical lol. I would replace the firing sound with a sound of a rifle or something for dramatic effect
I feel bad laughing at this
would love if some how you could show us the range on each shot. It's crazy how the pellet reaches the target so fast that I'm wondering if you are close to them. another channel he has to adjust for wind and distance, but you seem to hit whatever is in the x part. thanks for the video
is it possible to have automatic reload?
Sadly, no.
@@midwestairgunner8500 :( . crazy how you are not over 100k sub as of yet. I find it fascinating your shooting. Thankyou. and you got a sub
gg
We have tried everything we can to keep blackbirds and starlings off of the suet but nothing works. Except for what you do but my neighbors would report us.
They are so frustrating....
I think I will not load the suet feeder until the blackbirds leave in September. Good riddance.
Sir great video I enjoyed keep going you shoot.excellent
Jeez crazy, back in the UK the retailer (Pyramidair in your case) is liable under the sale of goods actually, and in your situation I would expect them to replace completely within 30 days or repair within 12 months all at their expense
Sir you are a good.marksman thanks for showing us your skill keep up good work
Thank you very much for that. 😉
you could probably rent yourself out to other property owners with the same problem,
Don't shoot starlings
There is something legal...and not illegal to do
@@user-mx8qf4vq1k why not?
they pests bro 💀
Wow how many are there great sniping
Why are you killing them?
Invasive bird species that does not belong in the USA and competes and destroys our native bird species. Droppings in dairy farms exposes cattle to diseases.
Hola, el segundo regulador está en 100 bar, en cuantos bares tienes el primero?
Did you eating starling ? Much protein ...😊
Nicely done ✔️
Thanks. 😊😉
Just watching a few videos while guarding my feeders from house sparrows and starlings. Its good trigger control practice with my diana bandit. Great way to spend a rainy afternoon.
Couldn't agree more! Did you get any?
@@midwestairgunner8500 I've been getting about one of each every day. It's almost like they don't like my company. Rude.
Que velocidad usaste amigo
Hey, what gun are you using? It doesn't make noise and looks like is powerful enough to do the job. What do you recommend?
Thats alot of work. After about 50 birds I would be like there got to be a easier way to kill them. lol
man, how do you come across these jobs? I would do it for free strictly to test my many air guns lol
When driving in the country I look at the farms to see if I see lots of birds. If so, I stop by and ask if I can help. After you get one or two, you can usually get the farmer to find you another farm that needs help.
holy crap and I thought I had a starling problem lol
Really enjoying your vids.
Thanks very much for watching. Glad you are enjoying them. ☺☺
Super, to enjoy; a good cleaning without rushing. There were no more left there? Lol, 1 like.
Live in North Western TN and these starlings are a pain in the ass. They're in soffits all over the neighborhood and I have one in mine. And to think they were introduced to America cuz some asshole liked Shakespeare and imported them across the pond to the USA years ago.
I completely agree. Well said.
Upstate New York, they are showing up more and more every year. A neighbor down the street seems to be unknowingly feeding them too, which doesn’t help. The scenes with dozens in a row - good lord. Great video and great job :)
Thanks very much for watching and leaving a comment. 😉☺
Fantastic. They are such a menace. I have tried with different gear but never seem to find the accuracy. May have to spend more. Great job :)
Thanks very much. Glad you enjoyed.
What damage is being done after the pellet goes through the starling? Around 300 fps will kill starlings and pigeons. Most pcp pellet rifles shoot way too fast for using in buildings.
None.
You are pushing the pellets too fast unless you are doing repair work on the roof. 750 fps will punch through metal siding and roof.
Nope. The pellet I use does not go thru the siding or the roof. After over 5,000 shots inside barns, the farmers would have let me known a long time ago if that was the case.
I mostly watch just 3 channels for airgun shooting. The mouse trap , iguana solutions and yours.
I am very happy that I made the list!! ☺

Well done ! ❤ your work... 😊
Thanks Peter.

Let the cats eat the starling. You need to eat the pigeons.
Sick slo-mo shots
