Are the birds Loons? They are pretty common on the cape, crapping cement allover sailboats. It is migratory waterfowl so it is against the law to shoot them.

The nitrogen piston makes a difference. Wore my spring tell out in two years shooting rats in lynn.
Classic , love it.not an air rifle but I have an old crossman co2 pistol that was made in the 50's so crossman said when i sent it in for seal repair. it shoots extremely tight out to 15-20 yards with crossman .22 cal competition pellets. a decent rifle ought to beat that 2x over I would think. it looks like this.

I have looked at about 30 rifles at this point. Knowing nothing about these, I'm paralyzed with indecision. Is there one I can get for about $150 or less that has a decent scope and will do the job? I can't even decide that caliper to go for...
If anyone has one they want to sell let me know!
PS - For no good reason I'm still leaning toward this one, although the reviews say its a bit heavy and loud:

On a still day the movement is pretty much non-existent. I'll check those out thanks.
I still say Pistol.
Out on a dock with an air rifle will bring the swat team and lock down every school in the county.
Alternate suggestion would be to rig a bug zapper to the aluminum mast.
thanks. the photo is not my pistol but looks exactly like it. I found it in the bottom of a box of shooting junk someone gave me...has to be over 25 years now. sent to crossman to go over and replace the seals, thing works like a champ.Classic , love it.
Nitrogen piston? If not pyramid air will install one for you.My Gamo is a break barrel,Single shot pretty accurate,Depending on pellet style and company,I actually prefer crossman pellets,They seem to be more accurate.
Forget pump ups and co2. You need consistent velocity to get any accuracy st all.
Here's a air gun that will take a crow at 500 yards! AirForce Airguns - World's Most Powerful Production Air Rifle - Texan .457 Caliber
that's just entry levelA $1,000 air rifle, love it!
for what your looking to do, pump , co2 or break barrel unless your looking to step into the PCP air guns. which even on the cheap side is about $500If not a pump up or CO2, then what?
I have the whisper...
Look into a Stoeger x20s, a break barrel .22 and get some Crossman hollow points. Impressive scope that's easy to zero in, suppressor barrel is quiet, and you can drop crows and squirrels without attracting attention to yourself
