Owl Isn't Working, Plan B Is An Air Rifle

I really want some almonds this year, so I just ordered a good air rifle to deter further bird attacks. I posted a link below to a survivalist website that claims this rifle is good for small game hunting. It's powerful and quiet, so I can shoot it on my property and not scare the neighbors.

I don't plan on using it on the feral chickens, rabbits, or squirrels, except in a food emergency.
