thinking that I want it to be able to humanely kill ANY of the animals it hits, if I do my part right.
I'm guessing there isn't neighbors near by?

I think the chances of getting a clean kill with a raccoon isn't high, with an air rifle.
You should get a .17 HMR. Thats if geting a totally clean kill, is your bottom line. The .17 HMR bullet should fragment on a starling, I'm not sure. On everything else it will.

If your intent on useing a air rifle. My vote is .22.


Oh... and don't soot them on the deck .
