"You don't wanna find him. You don't want anything to do with him. Trust me. He'd eat you so fast, you'd be a pile of falcon poop before you could yell for help. Falcons are vicious.

"I think we're in real trouble. I don't know how this started or why, but I know it's here and we'd be crazy to ignore it... The bird war, the bird attack, plague - call it what you like. They're amassing out there someplace and they'll be back. You can count on it... Unless we do something right now, unless we get Bodega Bay on the move, they... Mrs. Bundy said something about Santa Cruz, about seagulls getting lost in a fog and then flying in towards the lights... Make our own fog... we can use smoke pots the way the Army uses 'em."
"Garrison investigated a strange event in 1991 that caused birds around to act bizarre and die. He identified the culprit as , which was produced by off the Pacific Coast. Those acid-making algae were consumed by fish and , which were in turn gobbled by birds, who couldn’t effectively rid the toxin from their systems. “There were reports of pelicans and s wandering around drunk and throwing up ,” said Garrison, who is based in Domoic acid was probably responsible for another instance of strange bird behavior reported in 1961 around Monterey Bay, when Hitchcock was said to be vacationing nearby, Garrison said. The filmmaker reportedly asked to have a copy of the newspaper sent to him, the scientist added."
"The most striking image of all is a from high above the town, including a pair of s who drop into the shot from each side of the frame. As one critic noted, 'the town as seen in the overhead shot does not actually exist. It was an , into which a fire was inserted, filmed from a hill overlooking the car park. The gulls were filmed from a clifftop on the , west of Los Angeles, and into the shot. ...'"
"Mr. Hitchcock ... begins, innocently, with a haughty San Francisco girl having a testy encounter in a bird shop with a man on whom she plays a practical joke. Then, mischievously, he leads her to the fellow's family home in a fishing village north of San Francisco to deliver an impudent present of two s. ... Then, sneakily, Mr. Hitchcock tweaks us with a tentative touch of the bizarre. The plausible is interrupted by a peculiar avian caprice. A attacks a young woman. Flocks of angry gulls whirl in the air. A swarm of s swoops down a chimney and whirrs madly through the living room. And, then, before we know it, he is flying in shock waves of birds and the wild, mad, fantastic encounter with a phenomenon of nature is on. There may be no explanation for it (except that symbolic one, perhaps), but the fierceness and frightfulness of it are sufficient to cause shocks and chills. And that is, no doubt, what Mr. Hitchcock primarily intends. ... The cast is appropriate and sufficient to this tic intent. is pretty, bland and wholesome as the disruptive girl. is stolid and sturdy as the mother-smothered son. is querulous as the mother, and pretty is pleasant but vaguely sinister as the old girl friend."

"Radio newscaster: The bird attacks have subsided for the time being. Bodega Bay seems to be the center, though there are reports of minor attacks on Sebastopol and a few on Santa Rosa. Bodega Bay has been cordoned off by roadblocks. Most of the townspeople have managed to get out, but there are still some isolated pockets of people. No decision has been arrived at yet as to what the next step will be but there's been some discussion as to whether the military should go in. It appears that the bird attacks come in waves with long intervals between. The reason for this does not seem clear as yet."
"Radio newscaster: In Bodega Bay early this morning, a large flock of crows attacked a group of children who were leaving the school during a fire drill. One little girl was seriously injured and taken to the hospital in Santa Rosa, but the majority of children reached safety. We understand there was another attack on the town. But this information is rather sketchy. So far, no word has come through to show if there have been further attacks."

"Mrs. Bundy: The point is that no-one seemed to be upset about it. They were all gone the next morning just as though nothing at all had happened. Poor things."
