It is not against the law to shoot pest birds such as starlings, sparrows, etc., but not with a firearm within city limits and we are inside the city limits.

Re: .22 LR subsonic ammo from Browning semi-auto rifle
Yeah I think I would move out of my friends neighborhood.
Not only is it illegal to discharge a fire arm, birds are protected from being killed, unless they are game birds and then only during legal hunting season. Sub sonic 22 long rifle is still lethal and can kill or injure other people. In certain circumstances, people can get permission to shoot exploding shells that are only designed to make noise to scare away the birds, but that has to be approved by the city council (at least where I have heard about) And it is difficult to get that permission and is usually assigned to animal control.
I would strongly advise you friend to try other ways of dealing with birds. I have heard that hanging aluminum pie plates in trees helps, and they won't accidentally kill children on bicycles.JMHO
