Have you ever seen the movie The Birds? Here’s the summary from IMDb.com:
A wealthy San Francisco playgirl pursues a potential boyfriend to a small
Northern California town that slowly takes a turn for the bizarre when birds of
all kinds suddenly begin to attack people there in increasing numbers and with
increasing viciousness.
I was 'lucky' enough to catch the tail end of this movie one day last year after leaving work early. My supervisor mentioned this flick to me so when I saw it was on the telly I had to check it out.
While crossing the Peace Bridge en route to the HSBC Arena for the Bandits season opener I saw a sight that ripped my mind back to this movie. A flock or ten of birds were covering the bridge just about in the middle of it. They were above the light poles forming a living canopy that stretched from one side of the bridge to the other while being several feet wide. It was an awesome sight but having witnessed Alfred Hitchcock’s imagination on the screen, there was a bit of fear mixed in too, perhaps even terror. Travelling underneath this moving canopy was kind of eerie but we survived the encounter with the birds. Our car, on the other hand, needed a good washing afterwards.
