dude, you should find a falconer in your area. He would LOVE to feed all the starlings you shoot to his birds

Thanks for the great videos Ted. All of us hunters appreciate your ethical approach to pest control and your efforts to explain reasons for hunting, despite irrational youtubers and negative people. Keep the videos coming!

Every once in awhile you have to let a worthy adversary go

All physical things man, bird or country, are but paper masks. Unrecognizable in any sort long lasting comic way meaningless and without reason. But in each event - in the living act, the undeniable deed - there, some unknown but still reasoning thing lets a glimpse of it's features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man can strike, strike through the mask! How can a prisoner reach the outside except by thrusting through the wall? Sometimes I think there maybe nothing beyond the wall. But it is enough. To me, the white whale is that wall, shoved near to me. He tasks me; he heaps me; I see in him outrageous strength, with an unknowable malice sinewing through it. That unknowable thing is chiefly what I hate; and be the white whale a instrument, or be the white whale the principal, I will wreak that hate upon him. Talk not to me of blasphemy, man; I’d strike the sun if it insulted me.

Excerpt from Moby Dick, if I had to take a guess

I have seen all of your videos at least twice but this one somehow went undetected until now! Thanks "what to watch".

I love how right as you mention 'permission's' and our UK brothers, you pull out a set of shooting sticks. "Brilliant." (British accent) lol great video, crafty bird.

Lol. I like that you showed the one that got away. Just goes to show even when you dont get a shot, it can still be a fun and memorable day. Thanks for sharing.

Been a fan for five years, you always put out great content man.

I could listen to these videos all day for the commentary. Love these vids

your videos always make my day better no matter what so thanks it means a lot that you post these :D

Huh this little birdie went inside *TIME TO GET MI SPADE*

That was one smart bird for sure ! I live in Michigan and have just started air rifle shooting since I was 10 years old so after 40 years my wife bought me a Hatsan 1000S Striker Vortex in 22 caliber and am looking forward to alot of fun . Thanks for the great videos and may you have a great new year ahead .

Great video again as usual! Can't wait for the next. 2 thumbs up for all your hard work and fantastic footage and editing!

I actually love watching your videos! Thanks for the amazing content!

Excellent video yet again Ted... Keep it up!!

Keep the videos coming...I enjoy watching them and your story behind them!!! I like the shots at birdhouses...see if you can get more of those in this Spring.

Found your videos my mistake and really enjoyed watching them. Thanks for the effort. Ziyaad from South Africa

Just last week we had a Starling fly in through my daughter bedroom window. I had taken the screen off to clean it, while downstairs I saw a flying shadow cast on the wall followed by my daughters high pitched scream. The Starling flies down straight into the screen on the patio door. I quickly shut the glass door trapping him in and rushed to get my gardening gloves. Well, I caught him, snapped his picture and reluctantly let him go. Why? Because my little girl asked me to. :) Great video!

That bird is the boss! Totally owned you lol

brilliant video, loved every second of it like in your other videos! Well done Ted, greetings from germany

Very entertaining to watch your videos man, keep it up. Do you happen to have a video of your camera mount? Thanks

An epic battle between sworn enemies....hahah good job Ted great vid.

Kudos on the great videos and amazing precision and accuracy. I just wonder did you get the little bugger?

You prove that if you follow where your interest leads it frequently leads to all sorts of new and interesting things. i.e. hummingbirds. Great video.

Looking forward to a new season of your vids!

This is more Fun and more Informative than the Discovery channel...Great video.

I dont get what people have against pest control these birds dont belong here and are kicking native birds out of there homes and need to be removed

Thanks for the information! :D

I read that humming birds will hitch a ride on the backs of ducks and geese, burrowing into the feathers.

nice new video. I've been waiting on a new hunting video for a while but it was worth the wait. Ready for the next one already

Cool, out of MANY slomo vids out there, yours till now are the STEADIEST after- break.

Great informative videos as always. Excellent! Take care bud.

once again nice video and thanks for taking the time for making it:)

fantastic video as usual!!

Nice clip that Ted and great story well illustrated by yourself. Si.

Ted, Excellent all around video and commentary; entertaining, honest, can't wait for your next video! B-)

It's amazing you posted this. I was outside the other day working on the car when I looked over to the neighbors house and noticed a Starling inside his basement trapped between the window and curtain. I immediately recalled the information you shared regarding their behavior and desires to get into other birds' nests. I believe the bird was trying to invade a sparrow nest (which I think is in an uncovered exhaust pipe) when he slipped through and got himself stuck. Thats for the videos

Awesome vid and a great story!! You are a cool guy!

Another great video mate.

Ted I have fished off-shore in the Gulf for years. I've not only seen the H-birds on the rigs along with lots of other birds that you wouldn't think would be there but have had them land on the boat and rest for hours as we are trolling for pelagics.

"Back to the issue of starling smashing" LOL Brilliant Ted this video is a great example of why you are the best Air Rifle guy on KZread ATB Malc CPTV

A *ted* talk worth watching.

Haha the shovel scenario was hilarious!

Haha every good story has a hero and nemesis :) Looking forward to the next video!

Great video. Loved how clever that starling was. A small part of me was even rooting for it...I mean that kind of clever you hope works out a little. Good luck getting him some other day.

What gun are you using and what ammunation with and also whats the fps on the gun its amazing and the user of the sniper is amazing :D keep going strong awsome vids

That last view through the hole, was that bird lime?

Thanks Ted I'd love to see a humming bird one day in the flesh, we don't have them here in Australia. Keep up the good work mate

6:34 I laughed so hard! Kudos man for having a good sense of humor at defeat.

Always a pleasure watching these videos from you Ted. You strike me as a very sympathetic person, and if you ever happent to drop by Denmark, I'd take you out for a beer. But leave the gun at home :)

He's back!!

ok first of all I love and watch as many videos as I can and im from Wisconsin too. I'd love to buy your set up I can't get my hands on it on the internet even though I have the means of paying for it seeing its from the bloody UK. but anyways that's what not I wanted to ask you. at the end of your video you had an idea to get the birds since you were eight maybe im a little slow today but I cant figure it out :) mind dumbing it down for me?

Another nice video. I did not see many starlings in Greece this winter. We call them Psarounia to Sparta. Starlings can even imitate mobile phone ringtones!

i am watching this footage for the 2 nd time and i see the summer plumage of the starling and it is very nice indeed the yellow beak and the black plumage are very nice ,i am from Malta Europe and the starling here is a migratory bird and it comes only in winter at the early signs of spring it goes up north to main land Europe. So i know they are pests and how much you hate them Ted but it is kind of cool how that bird is swearing at you or something like that. Kind regards Joseph from Malta

hey Ted did u make those shooting sticks. Huntersvermin has a video on how to make them just wondered if thats what u did

Starlings are non native invasives that are more aggressive than our native birds and out compete for nesting sites and food. What he does is pest control and very benificial.

you the best hunter I seen on KZread

Hey! What are the shooting sticks you use? I noticed you used them at the beginning of the video. I would like to know where you got them or if you made them and if you did make them how?

You're back! Yaaaaaaaaaaay!

I need thoughts on the umarex octane 22. Please

Have you ever shot a bird in the head but still hear its painful screeching... i have .-.

Accept that if the brain is destroyed than the pain receptors are as well, if the pain receptors are destroyed it's not feeling pain 🤔

those starlings are quite the crafty buggers, their problem solving skills are just insane, well at least for that one bird. I was very amused when you kicked down that small ramp, probably expecting that bird and then theres that little hole. I really hope you can get that damn bird dude xD

you make so damn good videos!

Hey two questions. First, what is the name of the bipod you used in this video? Also a question about parallax, I been shooting my airgun at 30 yrds while keeping my parallax at 100yrds, so what i should do is lower it until the image is a sharp as possible and then i have virtually eliminated parallax??

hey ted i have a question for you, so when u have a mildot scope set at 10x power and the scope is sighted in at 20 yards. So if i got a pigeon at 30 yards does that mean i need a one dot hold over then so on for 40 and 50? thanks

I've already seen it... want more.... lol. Could you please make another one?

This was a very interesting episode. ;)

Excellent video!! I look forward to see how you will get that tricky bugger! :-)

What is your affective range?

you're a knowledgable guy. i have a few air rifles, but no PCP guns as they're super expensive.. do you know any guns that run close to the $300 down range at all?

I'm going to get a pellet gun, but which one of these pellet guns is better suited for me? The Big Cat 1250 has 1250 fps but is only a .177 cal, while the Big Cat .22 has .22 cal., but only has 950 fps. I will be using this gun for pest control (mostly pigeons) and small game (mostly squirrels) hunting. They both have their pros and cons so, which gun has more power and is overall better. Thank you for your answer. -Jakob P.S. I love your videos!

was tbat a ghillie suit on a homemade hanger or just a scare crow or was the focus on yhe 'Y' shaped twig that you might use to prop a decoy on and shoot through the hole?

Nice video - ever thought about Starling Pie?

Another great video!

Hi Ted love what you do. Starlings are all over our farm here in Canada. I have shot more than a few thousand with my fx Royal. Love my .25 All the best Gio

Thinking about buying a air force condor have you thought about making a review on 1

Starlings are native to Europe but not to the US. They are an invasive pest species and out-compete the native song birds, so he is actually doing good by targeting them.

I just thought of this, you were worried about over penetration and damaging things behind the pest right? Are there any hollow point/expanding pellets in calibers above .177?

fantastic channel! keep it up! i really love your vids, expecially the "kill cam" in slow motion :P and very nice commentary! i learned a lot of things about starlings and pigeons here! ignore the haters, good job from italy!

did u do i review about the diana 65TH ..if not can u do a comprising between it with the silence attachment

As a Greek I can tell you that rabbit is one of my favourite game food.My mom made the best rabbit stew ever.Great video mate.

Great video, Ted! You might want to keep a roll of duct tape handy to plug up those escape routes if you run into the same scenario in the future.

Come on Ted. That’s one smart bird. His name is Moriarity. LOL

It was a small piece of white fuzz, I see it in my yard all the time. Upon a quick google search it's probable that it was a speck of white mold that got out of a house that was carried by the wind.

I just started watching your videos a few days ago and I must say, I was never so interested in hunting as I am now.The only problem is that I don't live in America, so I have no chance to get my hands on such a gun as you have. So I would like to ask you what you think of this gun.I am a noob and I have absolutely no idea about guns, palleds, anything. But what I know is that I wanna get into this. The name of the gun is HATSAN MOD 125, CAL 4.5mm, strength 375m/s , optik 6 x 40. Is it any good?

Ahh so Amazing! Its incredible how birds can be so smart!

Great video! We have had warm weather down hear in ohio too and the starlings are already nesting around my place.

serious friend so kind to put subtitles to your videos, your videos are great and you got so many Latino fans would be nice to put subtitles

what pellets do you recommend for hunting small game for a .177 rifle?

I really love your videos. I live in Thailand (from Texas). I can't get pellet or BB rifles here, but your vids remind me of when I was i kid. Keep on making videos!

What's does the military call those shots? I forgot the name... Loop hole? It when a sniper shoots through a hole from a distance hitting the target.

where is the follow up video?

The bird reminded me of a xenomorph from alien series. Smart, quick, and they can solve complex puzzles and give you a tough time.

Great shootin' Tex

Your videos are so entertaining! You need your own TV show. I would've never thought I'd look forward to videos of a guy shooting small birds with bb gun...but I do!

hey, what do you do with these birds? do you feed them to cats or just dump them in a bucket?

Hello, I like a lot of people have probably told you, want to shoot with an air riffle, and I left a comment on an old video, but I will try to ask again, I am a budget minded individual and would like to shoot with these for the reason of the noise reduction and accuracy, here in az we can hunt rabbit year around and would like to get into this sport, which gun would you advise me buying and what other equipment would I need?

Dude,,, you're awesome!!! I love blasting the Hell outa these starlings by my house. I saw a couple sparrows make a nest in the street light out front of my house, and after about a week,,, the starlings muscled them out and took over. I started taking matters into my own hands. Then I saw your videos and felt good that I'm not alone about the way I feel about these birds. Just wanted to say,,, u got some awesome videos!!! Keep commin with em!

God what awesome videos he dose

i use to live there to love your videos

Dat little smirk after each hit ;)

As an novice airgun user would you say a .177 caliber does the job?
