Thanks very much. This is super interesting!

Means, the birdies were high as the kites.

Hitchcock couldn't have been aware of the cause, though, and had his own ideas about why the birds attacked.

I buy them, I take them home and I cook them.

This and the novel is what the movie is based on. But there was no explanation given in the movie as to why the attacks occurred. It is left up to each viewer as to the reason.

I had a gull swoop so close to my head this morning. Living in an estuary port town I've had this before. In future I shall keep the other side of the road where they hang out. On the way back I noticed two gulls stationed on rooves of a particular road I walk along often. They definitely don't like anyone on their side of the road. They've got youngsters nesting somewhere I expect.

I don't know if this is true. Wasn't The Birds based upon a Daphne du Maurier short story of the same title written a few years earlier? Hitchcock was a fan of du Maurier; I believe Rebecca was written by her and Hitchcock made that into a famous movie with Laurence Olivier and Joan Fontaine in the 1940's. I think Jamaica Hotel was also a du Maurier. I think he liked her style and found that her writing adapted to his type of filmmaking well. When he read The Birds, he probably thought it would make a good plot in his post-Psycho period.

I've always wondered what exactly triggered these birds after all of these decades?? 🤔 Next, we'll have an explanation for why the shark in JAWS acted the way it did?? The Novel JAWS suggested the shark was a baby Megalodon by the way it acted and how large it was..
