I hate to admit it, but when my brother got his .410 break action one Christmas when we were kids, we promptly took that sucker out and got us a whole mess of robins.

We cleaned 'em up before Mom could see 'em. We told her they were blackbirds. She cooked us a jambalaya too!

If she'd known they were robins, we'd have lost that gun and probably got a good tanning.
