Here in the city, my Beeman R1 and/or R7 pellet rifles could potentially keep me in survival meat for quite a while with little or no noise or expense. There are scads of pigeons, seagulls, cats, dogs, squirrels, possums, crows, and giant rats in my neighborhood. Dozens of pigeons and seagulls sit on the power lines next to my house everyday.
You reminded me about something.
Some old gents in a city I know raise show pigeons. The show pigeons thay raise are Giant Runts.
Giant Runts are a lot like the regular rock pigeons that plague every city, they are just bigger and meatier.
Because you can not raise livestock for meat in that city, but you can raise show birds, they have a club called the Ontario Giant Runt Club.
They are real certified pigeon fanciers, it is true.
It is all quite official and they have shows and everything, at which they judge the quality of the birds and present awards for the best birds shown.
After the show they go home and start fattening up more birds for the next show.
This is an American Giant Runt
