I think there needs to be some definition of "birdshot" that is being contemplated. As someone who shoots a lot of clays and hunts small birds like dove and quail, "birdshot" to me is 7-1/2's. To someone who shoots a lot of waterfowl, "birdshot" might mean a 3" load of BB or T.
IF you believe birdshot is your best choice, then at least get something like #2 in about a 1-1/4 or 1-1/2 oz load
YMMV
