The sad thing about airguns becoming so available, is that Young/untaught kids are shooting native birds.
Here is a link of a boy shooting a chickadee and calling it a pest.
This really makes me sad, because airguns can do a lot of good for our native birds. By killing invasive species such as,
House Sparrows
European Starlings and
Feral Pigeons.
NOT Chickadees !!!.
Airguns are getting better and better, in the price (and the accuracy), so it is easy for a kid to get their hands on one.
This issue starts with the parents that buy their kid an airgun,
THEY (the kids) NEED TO BE TAUGHT WHAT TO SHOOT AND WHAT NOT TO SHOOT.
So if any of you Dads or Moms are planing on getting your child an airgun please, please, please, teach your young airguners what are pests and what are not.
And if you yourself don't know what are pests animals, please do your research.
I love airguning and want the sport to grow, but we need to educate all new shooters.
By doing so, will help the reputation of the airgun community and help our native animals thrive.
Thank you for taking your time to read this. and please, do spread the word.
Airgun love to all.
