Is it ok to kill pest birds like finches and doves that eat your feed

When your coop is so massive chicken wire cost over 1000$ of netting, rooster or pet dog wont attack pest birds, and they go through your 50 pound 30$ bag of feed every week, they get in through every hole and everything, and when your neighbor gets so stressed she is giving you her 3 chickens, I consider having a slaughter on pest birds a very nice option. Also your personal opinion is personal
You did ask for people's opinions though. 😉
 
I feed songbirds around here so I wouldn't do it. I feed my chickens in their coop and made a large 55 gallon garbage pail into a feeder. That's placed in a covered area near the coop. I've never seen wild birds try to get to it. I have had rabbits come into the area but I have mono problem with them.
 
You may want to reconsider that since it isn't legally an option available to you. You may get a way with it for a while, you may not.
These pest birds are starlings, one of the 3 non-federally protected birds so I could gas them in their sleep, posin chicken feed left outside the run... etc
