Then you'll need to shoot them in the head, pigeon feathers are too hard
for a clean kill with an air rifle. Pigeons are pretty quick learners and
they'll soon learn to avoid you if you are carrying anything that looks like
an air rifle, so bait for them and shoot from a hide/shed/covered
greenhouse.
