This is a difficult question - ask 10 people and you'll get 10 answers. For clay trap and double clays, it's hard to beat a quality over and under or a side by side 12 guage. For upland game birds, a solid pump or semi automatic from any number of manufacturers will work. If your budget allows only one shotgun, a 12 guage semi-auto that shoots a 2 3/4 shell will work for clays and most game birds. My personal preference is for the Remington 1100. They have been around for years and replacement parts are easy to find.
when a cowboy used a shotgun too kill a flock of birds at close range, he said "like shooting fish in a barrel" most likely, because shooting fish that can't move much anywhere can be shot easier then fish in the ocean.
probaly aiming and shooting birds.
I would be. He should have an adult teach him the proper and safe way to handle the gun along with the responsibility that goes with it.

You would have to define best for WHAT? A .300 Winchester Magnum may be a great gun for shooting at 900 meters, but is useless for hunting birds in flight. The over and under shotgun is great for birds in flight, but hard to carry under a jacket as a defensive firearm. Bottom line- there IS no ONE best firearm.
shotgun. heh heh heh...
The one that the man is carrying!

Leading the bird too much (shooting too far "in front" of the bird)Not leading the bird enough (shooting "at" the bird, without accounting for the necessary "lead", therefore hitting "behind" the bird).Shooting at a bird too far awayUsing the wrong ammunition (for instance, target loads for waterfowl)Not being aware or fast enough to "draw a bead" on the birdLack of patienceMany, many more....

Yes. A clear example is the noise of a shotgun.
