Yes. We used to call it .22 ratshot. I also have a box of birdshot for my .357.

.22 birdshot has some really small BB's. Good for close range, where a shotgun would blow a hole in your roof/soffet vent area. The .22 birdshot will kill the bird, and not damage the wood. (ok, you may need to paint a bit ... but no major holes).

Pointless over about 5 feet or so. The rifling spins the birdshot, and you get a pattern that looks like a donut. What you aim at, unless it’s very close, is pretty safe.
