In 'To Kill a Mockingbird,' Atticus tells his children that "it is a sin to kill a mockingbird" although they are okay killing bluejays. Later in the novel what he means is explained. Mockingbirds hurt no one, and bluejays do. Mockingbirds only bring joy through their songs. They are symbolic of freedom, innocence, and joy.
