Set the scene:
Birds are 'massing'...
Bird's are attacking...
Could it be because the bird's know the difference between their friends...
And their enemies...
The film was being shown on Retroplex and was never sure why the Birds attacked (when I saw the film years ago). Now, courtesy, of the internet, I could take a quick look and figure out why.
So why do the birds attack? Apparently, the birds are attacking man to extract revenge for eons of mistreatment. What I never realized was that Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds is an early example of a radically ecological film.
Don't believe, then let Alfred Hitchcock...
... tell you what his film is about.
In the Diner scene, as a customers is ordering some 'chicken' (i.e., murdered bird), a customer who happens to be an ornithologist suggests there is a 'bird war.' And as the final, apocalyptic scenes of the movie suggests, the bird war will not go well for (in)humanity.
