April 2021: "The Birds" Gets in the News Again: Los Angeles Home Invaded by Birds


Though he made 53 films, it is my belief that Hitchcock's two most famous films -- in the decades since they were made(three years apart, back to back) are Psycho and The Birds.

Psycho...for the shower scene, the house, the motel , Tony Perkins as Norman Bates and all the sequels and remake.

The Birds because...well, as this April 2021 article notes '

"A family in Torrance California came home to find their living room looking like something out of Alfred Hitchcock's 1963 horror movie The Birds -- the room was filled with birds."

As long as newspapers, TV and radio continue to write articles about bird invasions with the line "....like something out of Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds"...

...the movie will live on. Hitchcock, too.

Yes, California is now so progressive, even the birds are living in human homes. Amazing!
