.223 with a sound suppressor can, of course with properly obtained ATF stamps etc. The process is easier than you think, wait time is 2-4 months. The quality of cans varies greatly, the better ones have tremendous suppression capacity.

Benefits:

1. round accountability in the urban neighborhood, v. the golden pellet that might get away from #4 bs

2. much greater accuracy and stable shooting platform

3. greater distance for the stalk, alleviating the possibility of being detetcted by the bird prior to shot

4. satisfaction of watching the bird explode silently
