Does Scout find a baby mockingbird that dies in To Kill a Mockingbird?

No, no dead mockingbird is found in the book. Atticus talks about how killing a mockingbird is a sin because they don't do anything to harm anybody they actually help us by singing songs. They also say that it would be like killing a mockingbird to tell anybody that Boo Radley really killed Bob Ewell. Not only that, they also say that it is a sin to kill Tom Robinson who was actually helping out. There are 2 mockingbirds- Tom Robinson & Boo Radley. The mockingbird is very symbolic- it has little to do literally with the plot of the story. Instead, a mockingbird represents themes such as innocence, and 'to kill a mockingbird' is to destroy something innocent.
