In most countries it is in fact legal to take pest species such as pigeons and Eaurasian collared dove with an air rifle. These birds carry and spread diseases, as well as push out the native species of birds in the areas they inhabit. They have become quite a large problem for Wildlife Departments around the U.S. and Europe. That is why I shoot them. It is not because I get some sick sort of pleasure out of killing haha! However it is quite fun to shoot and hunt in general.
