pecking at his reflection in my grandma's windows or her car's
hubcaps - I guess that was his role in the movie.

Yup, that always seemed kinda cruel to me. He set ALL the birds loose, even
the trained ones. Most of those died because they hadn't a clue how to
survive. Sad.

This is the coolest thing I've read for a long, long time.
It hadn't thought about what happened to all those birds, nor ever heard that
they were just let loose.
That's one of the scariest movies ever. THAT I haven't brought home for my
kids to watch, although they've seen a few scenes in movies about moviemaking
(the phone booth scene). To have "stars of the show" loose in your
neighborhood performing their trained behaviors... yikes!
