Just about any dog can be trained to bird hunt. Be aware s/he won't point though, so be ready to shoot (keep your gun back over your shoulder, just in case you pull the trigger to early it won't hit the dog). Get solid on basic commands (sit, stay, recall) and then introduce a dummy and/or scent. Pits are intelligent, but can sometimes be hard headed. Get him tracking and retreiving dummies in whatever type of area your hunting in, and maybe take him out with some already trained dogs. Good huntin!
