Is that it is based on a true story!

We'll have to agree to disagree about global warming until the next global cooling scare comes along

        You don�t know your Hitch at all. He is FULL of symbolism.
        Your loss.

"Is that it is based on a true story!"

Well, very loosely based. Part of the reference material Hitchcock used was about an incident in Capitola, Ca. where some birds hit rooftops, and were found dead in the streets, apparently due to shellfish poisoning. There were never any attacks, though.
