Well, they managed to do it in Singapore. Some years back, i read in the local 
paper that the Government was employing ex army guys to run around on motor 
scooters and pop off crows. I saw a guy in action on Sentosa Island (where the 
casino and an entertainment centre is) with a long barreled .22 sniping crows 
in the trees. He was using .22 short low velocity ammo, so as not to disturb 
the punters. Also the Govt recruited the local gun club

As the gun club guys were using 12 gauges, they tended to stick to less 
populated areas.
