best shotgun for bird hunting
#2

Any 12 ga pump will do... I use a Benelli Supernova with a 28 inch barrel. The pheasants don't care for it, but thats why I like it!! Of course, I use a 20 gauge (Winchester 1300 Speed Pump)for smaller birds such as chukar... just so there's something left to clean.

Any shotgun that when you mount it, it settles perfectly in your line of sight.
A quality that I look for in an upland gun is that it be relatively light. Most of my SGs are between 7-8 lbs. I tend to grab a lighter one (An Ithaca 37 Featherweight) when I know I'm going to be walking all day.
