don't forget the plain old method of pissing off the bird and going hand-to-beak with it. I'm thinking specifically of Canadian geese, which seem to be pretty territorial. I've been charged a few times, and it seems it'd be easy enough to let it come at me and just break it's neck or choke it out.
That is what I thought also, until the first and only time I went goose hunting. I shot one that fell, but was not dead. I went out and wrung its neck until I thought it was dead. About 15 min. later the darn thing woke up and proceeded to kick the crap out of my father and me. Repeated the neck treatment with much more vigor, and it only napped 10 min. before being resurrected to pass pain and suffering on me again. (keep in mind this bird has also been shot already with a 12 Ga.)
Third time being the charm, I threw the emissary of satan out of the blind and gave it both barrels of 12 Ga. from 3 feet directly to the head/neck.
Just what the doctor ordered.......
The inside of a 5 foot by 15 foot goose blind is no place for one to share with a HIGHLY irritated representative of satan to the avian community. That bird kicked my @$$!
