I have personally caught a crow in one of these.
You just put some food in the back, the animal steps on the release and you're in business.

OP, I'm kind of confused because it seems painfully obvious to me that you are already aware of what you are going to use for doing this which is essentially anything in .22... duh.
I feel your pain when it comes to dealing with animal control because where I am at, they're not going to help you and they will tell you as much to your face. Where I live they will roll their eyes and say they are not coming out for a cat and in my experience, they are slow to respond to a dog unless it is really threatening and even then if the dog is at risk of injury by them chasing it... they will then leave the area and you have to call them back when you have the dog in your possession. So... you don't have to tell me that animal control is unhelpful.
The only thing I can offer is that some people are unaware of how easy it is to get a hold of live traps. Most people I approached about the problems with pests I have told me to put out poison which I was not about to do or call animal control which I did and got nowhere... then I gave up it never even occurring to me that I could just buy a mess of live traps because that is a thing. I found one at a Goodwill and then it occurred to me that people have live traps so... it must be possible to buy live traps. Hopefully, you give some thought to picking up some live traps and then culling the colony by taking in the animals to animal control where they will be at least marginally more helpful (in my experience).
