-------------------------------------------------------------------------
My first day out with my FX Boss .30 PCP Air Rifle. The gun severely out-shot me on this day. In fact, one might say I brought shame to the FX name - hahaha. In time, I will improve, and you will see a LOT fewer misses. The truth is that this gun is better suited for crushing mid-sized mammals. The report is quiet, considering the power. But, it is louder than its .25 and .22 counterparts (FX 500, FX 400). The increase muzzle blast helped to alert the agile house sparrows and starlings to the incoming pellet. Consequently, you see many of them jumping well before the pellet reaches them.

"Can a starling really be dead enough?" - Quote of the year!
the only other way to get the number down is catching them and sending them per mail to europa. over here they are not so common anymore.
Yes, send them to Jupiter's small moon of Europa, far away from civilization.
just shoot it again with a a deagle 44 through the head to make sure.
@@Irobert1115HD That's the same crap everywhere, everywhere humans go, they take with them the pests. It's the same for the asian hornet, the Colorado potato beetle we received in Europe comming from US this time. Same again for the Phylloxera and nowadays we have the Covid 19 ! But of course, the Starling case is just magnificient. Because it was mentionned in Shakespear's texts, it has to be imported to US, OMFG !!!!
anyone else think hannibal lecter
see you in overwatch after that wallbang headshot
Excellent thoughtfulness for the raptor, making the shoot eco-friendly, sustainable, recyclable.
"Can a Starling really be dead enough?"
Not at all!
Good on you, sir!
Wow, headshot through the silo roof. That is unreal. I suppose that's one way to keep from spooking them before you make your shot.
.30 did come in handy after all!
He must have used the force, on that shot!
God mode sniper! Amazing and addictive videos!!!
Pigeons are rats with feathers.
they good eating unlike rats old man
electron being you don't want me answering that, but let me say that there is a pretty similar amount of meat.
More like crows and jackdaws... Flying rats and mices. :'D
They still deserve to be shot and killed cleanly.
@@electronbeing5473 yeah you meany jk you a jerk
They're pests, they're not endangered, I'm pretty sure these can only be hunted and certain times of the year, costs farmers thousands of pounds/dollars in damages and shit they're pests and that's what pest controllers are for
You are the happiest guy on RUclips, you always have a smile. Sensational.
Nice wallhack Ted!
de_nuke silo wallbang
I do love watching Ted work...But I also love reading the butt hurt of whiners.
mike5556 i never see anyone complaining
Pheonix19581 try to sort by new
@@GabrielDipo
Ooh my god thankyou, lol, they're so damn funny
Only thing better than watching him work, would be spanking these devil-birds myself. :)
@@nimshadow6160 With the one and only, "TedsHoldOver rifle". Couldn't be any better.
These videos make me wish I lived nearby you so that I could enjoy giving you a hand at taking back natural habits from the Starlings!
6:35 Ted's HoldOver = Aimbot/Wall hacks CONFIRMED
Phantom hahaha
Wow that aimbot.
I like this guy already. takes off glasses..."can a starling really be dead enough"
Damn, that one you got through the silo was sweet. I realize it was unintentional, but badass nonetheless.
intentional? how could he have possibly known that there was a pigeon sitting PERFECTLY on a rafter or something EXACTLY where he thought he was aiming to make sure he had a proper zero?!?
no way on earth he could've set that up & do that intentionally either lol.
I do realize that, that was probably a typo but still, lelz.
pigeon hunting with .50bmg
They would probably literally explode lol
BOB JONES Nah, it would just disapere :O
I'm a tanker. On my last deployment an enemy with an anti-tank rocket got hit with the main gun and just disappeared. No mist, no chunks, just gone.
Ryan Gosling I KNEW IT!
The Military InDUSTrial Complex, ya see, is using supernatural weaponreh!
It would just disappear XD
@Ted's HoldOver At 6:43 -- You are such a freaking wallhacker bro.... You gotta tell me where you buy your hacks bro!
He is a evil who kills animals
Enjoy these videos! You are a Master of your passion!
*Pigeons has left the game*
In another video, you discuss the question of whether or not the birds can see the pellet coming. It's interesting to me to see that nearly every birds seems to be trying to go to flight immediately before they're hit by the pellet.
It sure does seem, to me, that they can see the pellet. But when they do, it's too late.
Great videos!!
Can a Starling be dead enough? If asked in North America it is a very good question. Startling (i.e., Sturnus vulgaris) was brought to New York from England in the 1890s for trivial and misguided reasons by individuals who had no understanding of ecosystems. By 1990 Starlings were breeding in California and today there are an estimated 400 million Starlings in North America (far greater numbers than any native bird species) and they are wreaking havoc with our avian ecosystem on this continent. So no, they cannot be dead enough.
Mandolin1944 You are absolutely correct. Selfish reasons have caused irreversible ecological havoc. Cockroaches of the sky.
Your videos inspired me to start hunting small game so I went out and bought a .177 caliber rifle
That pigeon is gonna get you banned for wall hacks xD
Great shooting! Hope to be that accurate someday as I just got into airguns. My first purchase was a Crosman Phantom .22 break barrel and love it so far. My next air rifle on the list is the Hatsun 125 in 22cal maybe .25cal at a decent price. Power of a PCP in a springer I like since those PCP's are a little out my price range at the moment.
do a 1K people really have nothing better to do but videos they don't want to just to dislike them..?
That looks like the perfect way to spend an afternoon.
***** Just wondering if you modified your benjamin in anyway, some feedback would be great!
You're doing the lord's work.
I hate starlings. Nothing but flying poop factories.
Best thing to do is find a tree full of them, break out the scatter gun, and BOOM!!! 10 of them come falling out of the tree. If you have buddies armed with shotguns, you can easily take out 20-30 more in one flock!
I just take them out one by one with a .177 cal
They deserve to be wiped out. They are an invasive species in the United States by causing damage to crops; competing with native species like blue jays and common grackles; threaten native plants and insects; and carry diseases.
Can you imagine the conversation between the pigeons roosting next to the one that caught a pellet through the metal roof?
If i ever needed proof that some guys just have insane luck with their shots, it's that no-look headshot. Grrrrrr. :)
He's just chilling, hanging around while brutaly murdering those innocent creatures...
DUDE YOU'RE FUCKING AWESOME :D
I hate starlings so much! There's too many of them.
Buddy Van Cigrit wrong to many idiots like yourself
"Can a starling really be dead enough?" haha
I'll admit when I saw your first video my initial thought was 'why'. Even though I know virtually nothing about air guns (outside of pump action daisies I had as a kid) I find your videos very insightful and well produced. I imagine it won't be long before we see you on the Outdoor Channel (give this guy a show already!). Let me know if you're ever in the Dallas area and we'll do some pest control, Texas style (i.e., hog hunting!)...but bring a powder burner ;) Keep up the good work!
I just recently got into hunting crows and pest birds with air guns and subsonic .22lr. Safety is key, but the fun is limitless.
Thanks for the great and informative video. I hope to post some of my own someday.
It's the most fun I've had in years.
I am loving these commentsXD
reading and listening to the video's about the two birds, really told me what damage they can inflict.
Some of the comments on these videos.. 90% of them are likely people who never leave the comforts of the city.
question, if he misses and the pellet ends up hitting someone in the head, will it be enough to severely hurt him/her?
I really love your videos and i support you! Probably most haters don't even know, how important or educational your videos are.
Watching this video starting off I thought this guy was just a douche bag who killed a shit ton of birds for fun but he is just a pest control worker taking care of birds for pay. Just a honest man doing honest easy work.
It's called pest control idiot
No shit! I was just saying I thought he spent his weekend afternoons laying in fields and shooting these pests for fun. Ain't nothing wrong with it but I just got the wrong jest of it and so did you.
If the job that you work for is a job that you like to do yeah it is.
Anthony Demauleon And how'd you come to that conclusion exactly? Honest work doesn't refer to back breaking farm work dipshit.
Yet if you have been doing work for a long time normally putting in great effort it's not that hard. Take logging for instance. Packing a 14 Ib chainsaw up and down hills plus the bar oil, wedges, and other tools adding on 18 Ibs. 32 Ibs ain't that much but if you have been doing it for a while it's just a normal day of work.
My phone doing typo's by itself. Sent the gamo back 3 times. 1st gun was made in spain. 2nd in England ( got excited when saw that) 3rd gun in U.S.A it turned out to be a shooter. 3/4" groups at 60 yds all day long once u learned the trigger. This year lucked into a gentleman who was a purple martin enthusiest, and asked me to keep the starlings and sparrows away from the martin house's. Excellent shooting for hours at a time !!
Do you get paid to do this? They always say to do what you love. I spent my youth doing what you are doing just not getting paid for it. Some people may be offended by what you do, but I am all to familiar with the damage that they can do.
I cleaned and ate many house sparrows (and pigeons) when I was a kid. It was a great way to practice field skills. They actually taste quite good. And, no - they are not a serious disease vector. Breast them and pan fry them on medium heat for about 1 min on each side.
2000 dollar airgun, not including the scope and other addons. jealous
He was such a nice guy...stayed to himself.
Overkill? This is America isn't it?
I love these videos. Growing up around farming, we used to use .410's, 20/12 gauges to shoot birds, and as you said, tend to scare livestock. I used to use a .22, but I never liked that the bullet went to parts unknown past the target. An air rifle at least offers a finite range. One of my favorite things to do as a teenager was to find a tree full of starlings, sneak under it with a 12 gauge loaded with a pheasant load (2 3/4" #4), and open up on the flock up in the tree. Used to get a bunch of them down this way, and it was even more fun if you had some buddies following up as they flew out of the tree, lol. Sometimes we'd come across a rat infestation around a silo or corn crib. SO we would pump water down the holes, and wait with shotguns to blast them as they came running out. To city people or bleeding hearts who think these methods are cruel, trust me you have no idea how much destruction these animals do on a farm. That's the one thing I miss about living in town- people call the cops when they hear a gunshot. So air rifles are about the only way I can keep the varmits down in my backyard, and out of where they shouldn't be.....like in my garden, or bird feeder, etc. If I could only open up on a deer or two (and fill a tag) that would be a real time saver, haha;-)!
This guy should be in faze like if u agree 😂
And Ted just got a head shot on a pigeon he couldn't see from what looks like 100+yrds with a pellet rifle through a piece of sheet metal. That is possibly the single most impossible shot I've seen in my entire life. Badass.
What was that thing in the background at 4:26? Looked like some kind of unmanned vehicle
Lol just a sprayer
What is it for, pesticides?
herbicides
Umm excuse me no, sprayer dont hve their muffler removed, that was a beefed up truck manned by a douche theres about 100 of em where i live
Thanks a lot for all of your videos. Very, very impressive.
Special thanks for educational parts of them - it's very important for kids to understand what is ok to shoot and what is not.
If i'd ever visit USA, I'd like to shake your hand for all your work.
Cool video mate. Nothing like shooting rats with wings... ;-)
Unbelievable long range shots with a air rifle! Too cool!
Ted,
whats your recommendation for approaching farmers and landowners for permission to shoot feral pigeons on their property?
I also go dressed appropriately, but I haven't had any success. most of them respond with "we don't allow hunting on the farm". how do I explain that having 100-200 pigeons is dangerous for their livestock
Joseph De Marco Tell them the dangers of the pigeons and what they do to livestock and crops.
That and they don't won't some stranger in their property lol but keep trying eventually you'll find someone
That was awesome.... it was like you had x-ray vision on that pigeon in the silo.
plz make more videos for fx boss :) hi from sweden . and the price for it is 1530 dollars in sweden.
yea we want more videos.
please can you do more spear fishing its really awesome
I love people are still talking shit about animals being killed. Grow up how do yu think anything got down any time through out history hahah
I've definitely got a cowbird and starling problem. Also, mr woodchuck has a date with my airgun as well. Nice to see someone else looking out for the native bird
Aimbot clearly...rofl
lol
lol
Lmao, for real he just aims and shoots then sits back and eats a nectarine
This dude wall banged some random bird. LEGENDARY
3:34 X-RAY HACKS :P
Ya he is a jerk.
You just wallbanged a bird LMFAO
There is no way it cost 2000$ to make this gun . Someone is getting rich quick off of the u k
you're right it doesn't cost $2000 to make that gun. It cost $2000 to buy that gun. lol
You think it costs $550 bucks to make a Glock? How about a grand for a Kimber? Grow up, people go into business to stay in business.
Simple Supply/Demand... These rifles are very very niche, so they cost a lot
There is no way that a Red Bull costs 1,50 $ as the can is with its three cents much more expensive than the content. Whatever you buy costs exactly as much as people are willing to pay for it. I´m in the automobile business... but just estimating the rifles real cost (bought components, own production, labour force, tool leasing and all that stuff included altogether) should be around 300 - 500. Meaning a FAIR retail price would be somewhere between 600 and 1000 $. But hey... I´d be dumb to sell you a Coke for 15 Cents when you are willing to pay a dollar for it as I like to haul my ass in an Audi instead of some cheap crappy car... that´s called capitalism. I don´t say it´s good but that´s the way the world has been working during all times and ages!
True
I just like watching the sprayer drive back and forth in the back ground
Thats inedible that you accidentally hit a pigeon inside the dang silo.
Awesome video.
Your videos makes my day Ted
I call wall hacks on that silo shot!
Love your vids Ted!
Excellent shooting.
And no, Starlings can never be dead enough..
You totally deadpooled that silo pigeon, Ted!
Great vid my friend, that.30 pellet packs a mean punch
4:25 oh no , don't mind little old monster truck me , just passin buy in the background ^^
You do have a nice farm there. I'm retired and need one of those. Pretty much wiped out the local rat population here. No more knswed avocados. I'm debating on whether to get a .30 barrel for my Crown, or an American Air Arms .30 piece. Decisions. Great videos and data. It works with me. Thank you.
"cruelty to animals essay cruelty to animals, he did nothing to you, thats wrong essay thats wrong"
Been watching your videos a few weeks now...made an impulse pellet rifle buy the other day
Thanks for the good sense of humor ted. I really enjoy your videos. Keep it up buddy.
Love this guy for his reviews and he's pretty funny he's not to serious but he keeps his point and thanks for your videos man
*****
Ted you put so much work into your videos! You're awesome dude. Keep up the great work!
The Force is strong in this one.
As i grew up in the Midwest and moved to the South hearing a midwestern dialect is an interesting but welcome change from what I'm used to. Regardless, love your vids! Keep up the good work
Hey Ted,You have made it man. Seein'all these nice videos: You are the man.
This guy is brilliant, and probably a survivalist. Myself? Being old-school and from a time when I-Phones and game-boys exist? Bird and squirrel hunting with air-rifles was what people did as a past-time, and as a bonus, it was a free family supper with bragging rights, stories, and good cheer! A day truly spent well with family and friends. I'd also bet he's enjoyed his passion, others have recognized his talents, and probably have become sponsors who help provide him with equipment and $$$ to get him to use/sell there products. I call this both smart and resourceful. Its strange how people attack persons like Ted, for being good? Those actions are usually done out of jellousy and lack of understanding or knowledge...(Stupidity). Ted, "Real People like myself" are very proud to know persons like you still exist. Thanks brother for who you are and what you do for us, and for the youth of our planet.
Anybody else realize the first bird he clipped made two more appearances in the video? damaged left wing 6:05 and 6:13. Looks like he did survive
I did ;) what a filthy liar he is!
I quit watching as soon as I realized he was firing towards a road that had traffic on it.
Crisp, clean lock boys...
Ted is a god
Chats about weather. "hang on one second" turns around and promptly kills bird
Nice shot at the end. Pro and you know it!
Your videos are absolutely awesome! You earned a sub! Love the vids of cooking and preparing too! (:
I think his problem is he doesn't use sonic rounds. Birds have such an acute sense of hearing and phenomenal reflexes and they can even sense things coming at them with in /10th's of seconds. If he used sonic rounds the birds wouldn't have a chance to react. The round would hit them before the sound of the rifle got to their position.
I find the best way to get close (for pest control) is in your car but switch to the back seat and wind down the front window. Sometimes you have to wait for a few minutes for the pests to settle and it might help to cover your head with a jacket or towel.
i call wallhacks on the last shot.
nice shots by the way.
Five years later and I’m still waiting on the blue bird video lol
Ted I really love your videos! Great pellet rifles,and awesome knowledge & demonstration of your mil holds & wind counter! I could grew up hunting at 9 yrs old with a Benjamin-Sheridan,5mm pump that was my Dads in the early 60's. I regularly made head shots on sparrows & chickadee's at 25yds(farthest side of back yard fence) with this rifle and with only iron sights. A few years back I shot a dove in my back yard in AL(as I did often during dove season),and had the same thing happen as your first shot in this video lol. 43yds with my Benjamin spring gun(break barrel) and nothing special scope(no mils). Dove got spooked by a blue jay as the trigger broke and what would have been a fatal shot instead clip'd its wing,but the dove only made it 10-15ft before the hawk watching snatched it from the air in front of me :)
there is no such thing as over kill, because the opposite to that is underkill, and that is just unacceptable
I tried for years to get a bluebird to move in to one of my well built bluebird houses to no avail. I finally threw a couple on top (laying sideways) of my wire beer can recycling bins. 4' tall x 3.5' wide. I walked by last week and a bluebird flew out. From the other box a Carolina Wren flew out. the HOSP were not interested so I have more planned. Remember to put next one 75 yds away.
Soon to buy my first PCP, (airforce escape 25 cal 97 foot pound model) been watching your vids for a very long time.
Keep up the good work ted ;)
Ted I do Air Rifle hunting aswell and all the things you do help me even more so thanks.
