I had that problem using the wrong loads (heavy & larger shot) in my shotgun years back. I switched to 7 1/2 and 8 light field loads and that took care of it. Also are the birds a different distance from you than the targets you shoot at? If so try a different choke and load. What gun and ammo are you using?
