Did you know
- TriviaAlfred Hitchcock revealed on The Dick Cavett Show (1968) that 3,200 birds were trained for the movie. He said the ravens were the cleverest, and the seagulls were the most vicious.
- GoofsAfter two birds break the glass on the phone booth, it appears that the glass isn't shattered when Melanie is grabbed out of it.
- Quotes
- Melanie Daniels: Just what is it you're looking for, sir?
- Mitch Brenner: Lovebirds.
- Melanie Daniels: Lovebirds, sir?
- Mitch Brenner: Yes. I understand there are different varieties. Is that true?
- Melanie Daniels: Oh yes, there are.
- Mitch Brenner: Well, uh, these are for my sister, for her birthday, see, and uh, as she's only gonna be eleven, I, I wouldn't want a pair of birds that were... too demonstrative.
- Melanie Daniels: I understand completely.
- Mitch Brenner: At the same time, I wouldn't want them to be too aloof, either.
- Melanie Daniels: No, of course not.
- Mitch Brenner: Do you happen to have a pair of birds that are... just friendly?
- Melanie Daniels: Oh, I think so.
- Crazy creditsThere were no ending credits. And in the opening credits the title "THE BIRDS" was slowly pecked away by the passing crows.
- Alternate versionsThe Australian theatrical version removed 25 seconds of the bloodied farmer with eyes pecked out to gain a 'Suitable Only For Adults' rating in Australia. After said rating was retired in 1970, it was later re-classified 'PG' in its uncut version.
