The TRUE STORY of Hitchcock’s The Birds | Science Stranger than Fiction || Wild Lives Ep. 2
LIKE, THIS REALLY HAPPENED. Alfred Hitchcock’s classic THE BIRDS is, in part, inspired by a very real phenomenon that occurred in Santa Cruz, California in 1961. One night, inexplicably, thousands of sooty shearwater birds lost their minds, dive-bombing into homes and even biting people. But, for 50 years, no one knew why… That is, until…

Like all good things in this world, it should be consumed in moderation—but PopSci editors Jess Boddy and Claire Maldarelli were definitely not following that unwritten rule, guzzling between six and ten cups of coffee per day. That put them at risk for disrupted…

The Birds is based on a short story written by Daphne du Maurier and published in 1952… with some possible inspiration from Robert E. Howard’s The Pigeons from Hell.

If you rewatch this, either turn on the volume, or turn up your hearing aid.

@John Besharian Zzzzzzzzzzzzz…Whaat Wait. Must have dozed off from all the excitement Pop Sci generates these days.

this is a crock of crap. Movie was based on Daphne du Maurier story.

Don’t know where, exactly, you received your PhD, however, that fact is mentioned within the first minute of the film.

@John Besharian the first minute of the film is opening credits, with bird sounds. Included in those credits is acknowledgment that the movie is based upon the du Maurier story.

@Garry Robinson You’re both right. It was based off the story but Hitchcock also drew inspiration from the real-life incident. To be fair it’s definitely a clickbait title but there is still a connection.

For those in the comment section (and likely for those to come later) please pay better attention to the actual video dialogue as well as the description under the video, instead of getting triggered and attributing something that is neither said, nor implied. It’s frankly embarrassing what little cognition so many people have these days.

Can we not use the word triggered in a casual context. It makes you seem both insensitive and uneducated…

@Angelica A ~ The word was not used casually, so your intended point is moot.

Wasn’t Hitchcock’s The Birds filmed in Bolinas? My wife, Lisa Kindred and I lived in Stinson Beach between mid-December of 1971 to late September of 1973. Beautiful place. (Good fishing too.)

I’ve heard stories of presumably-sane birds dive-bombing animals (cats, humans, etc.) that they perceive to be potential predators, so it makes sense that confused or poisoned flocks of birds might do the same to random creatures, even if there is no reason for them to perceive them as predators.
