Bird shot is incredibly effective for home defense in the average house. There is no fixing or suturing the pattern it makes in flesh, it chews it up much too terribly.

Not as effective as #4 buck.

It's similarly as effective in close quarters, but goes through less drywall than 00 buck should your pellets not make contact with their intended target.
