Oh shit, this might do the job real nice like...
Crosman Shockwave (.177)
Nitro Piston Powered Break Barrel, Air Rifle with QuietFire Sound Suppression and 4x32 Scope (Model: CS7SXS)www.crosman.com
That would work. It wont be real quiet, but probably quiet enough. If the sub sonic thing is important, just find a .22 caliber model, the heavier pellets are a lot slower. And, as far as that goes, that thing probably only gets 1,200 fps using stupid light pellets, in a vacuum.
My ancient old Beeman R9 .20 caliber is pretty loud despite being well below subsonic (900 fps). Nobody around here seems to care though.
I've shot quite a few air rifles that had way, way over $2k in them. Hell, they had $3k scopes.

You need a DROZD Blackbird. Youtube is your friend.
Utah air guns has some cool guns. They hold a big shoot up hobble creek and get people from all over the world.
My dad has a 25 cal FX From UAG that shoots around 1k fps. He also has a Fiegnworksbaugh air rifle that is multi thousands of dollars. We used to shoot shotgun primers at 20 yards. You can headshot flies on jam with it.
Fun fact. I won gold at the Utah Summer games in the air rifle competition and silver in the air pistol.
It's fun stuff.

Meet and greet at your house. BYOBBG or BYOPG
UNSTUCK
But stuck more often.
And when all those winged rats are no longer an issue, just sit back and enjoy a nice cup of Ovaltine.

Yes, just what my neighbors want to see. A bunch of dudes in big trucks carrying guns into the backyard. 🤣
According to the recent news story, half your neighbors already have guns.

Kill a lot of pigeons with great satisfaction.
My old crossman 10 pump chump will definitely get the job done too.

Crossman 10 pump, or 12, or 13... Play with them, you can tell when the valve starts locking up and you can usually get more than 10 into them. And, for birds at close range, I always liked to load mine with four BB's instead of a pellet...
But they are quiet, surprisingly accurate, and underrated. Rich kids had those damn Benjamin Blue Streaks. Always wanted one, but never had one.
But, totally inefficient and a PITA to the point of unworkable when taking out an attack squadron of grackles. Had a squad raiding a dog food bowl last month. Six of them. Showing up every night at the same time. Able to take out all six, one at a time, from the back door of the garage with the break barrel springer. Never would have happened with a 10 pump.

Can confirm that a Red Ryder will knock the feathers off them flying rats also FYI.

I bought an Umarex Octane break barrel pellet rifle a few years ago when .22 LR ammo was hard to find. A bit noisy until it breaks in. Large and kind of heavy, but it does a fine job on rats, and other pests.

Depends on the city (and possibly county code as well). I know of a few cities in Utah where it is legal to shoot within city limits.
Moab (and I’m guessing most other communities) explicitly prohibit air guns as well

My uncle is a falconer, I’m sure his attack birds wouldn’t mind a field trip out your way…
I would love to spectate.
