The mockingbird idea first comes about in chapter 10,when Atticus is telling the children how to use their shotguns. He tells them: "Shoot all the blue jays you want, if you can hit 'em. But remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird." It was very unusual for Atticus to say something like this, as he never tells Scout or Jem that anything is a 'sin'.
