Naturally, when I was a kid, I once aimed my BB gun off to the right to scare one off, but the darn BB went right into the bird instead. For about a week, I was expecting my arrest!
My comment in quotes "To Kill a Mockingbird" was in reference to the movie "To Kill a Mockingbird" starring Gregory Peck who played the part of attorney Atticus Finch.
