FAQ for the many concerned ✨experts✨ in the comments
• you disliking something does not make it illegal, good one though ��
• dad is an Army veteran with a solid understanding of gun safety, including knowing the target and what's beyond (the "beyond" being many acres of unpopulated rural woodland)
• the tiny BBs in the birdshot have an infinitesimally small chance of causing injury even if they did somehow land on someone
• yes, it is winter and the nest may be empty, I believe his main goal was to prevent repopulation
• yes, other methods would have worked, but this was cheaper and more fun, and dad felt like popping off a few shots that day
• this was genuinely safer than my 70-year-old dad climbing onto the roof with a ladder (seriously, ladders are responsible for many more accidental deaths and injuries than guns)
• this was filmed in 2011 so my memory of the minute details around this particular event are sparse, but I will try to answer questions as best as I can recall
• I uploaded this vid to share a laugh with my dad since he's featured in it and have zero idea why YT is boosting it to tens of thousands of viewers
