Small FAE warheads, perhaps EMP (for nuking whole flocks at a time).  Flak. 
Shrapnel rounds fired from a computer-controlled quick-aim cannon. Shells 
are MUCH cheaper than Pigeons. Pigeons ARE rather delicate.  Might be pretty 
easy to pick them off.  And if you slaughter a few REAL flocks of small-p 
pigeons, who cares as long as you get the bomb versions?
