kayaker, I enjoyed reading your urban hunting story!
Nice!
Thanks to
your competent dispatching of
a damage-causing pest animal in your very own yard you are now in the enviable position to...:
(1) ...convince your wife that money spent on AG is money well spent.
(2) ...convince her when you do airgun stuff all you're really doing is working on
projects for the home — on par with fixing the patio, painting the kitchen (or whatever home project is the latest on her list).
That successful shot you took sent a clear message. ➔
And:
Shots speak louder than words. ➔ But in this case, some words are necessary to make the most of its message.

PS: Unlike you, I haven't caught such a lucky break in my own home yet. My
wife still just can't see how feral pigeons really need to be eliminated at all cost (cost of guns, scopes, range finder, chrono, ammo — and time spent on all of this...).
Maybe... if I put bait on top of her car she'll get my point —
when she'll have to wipe pigeon poop of the windshield every day....
