Alfred Hitchcock seemed to have a fascination with birds, supposedly as symbols of chaos. Remember all of the stuffed birds all over Norman Bates' motel office in "Psycho"? I recall reading that the state of the birds in "The Birds" had to do with life being "out of balance" or out of control.

I suspect it was because there were two caged birds. In the beginning of the movie Hitchcock makes point in scene where the two caged birds are taken out from a car for all to see. I'm not sure if I am recalling correctly but aren't the two caged birds freed at the end of the movie and all the birds cease their attack?

I don't remember that very important question being explained in the movie, but it was still a great movie by the master filmmaker, Alfred Hitchcock.

As Alfred Hitchcock was prone to do, the motives were never explained.

Good question. Problem is, nobody knows. Old Alfred probably didn't know either. His movies are crappy like that.

That was never explained! They were mad about the love birds, but why? It is kind of mystical.
