To Kill a Mockingbird

I wonder if whacking a mockingbird is a sin.
I have a mockingbird that sits across the street from my house and calls far into the night. He makes a variety of different noises, including imitating frogs. While he doesn’t bother me at all (I fell asleep with my light on last night – [...]
