Dose anyone know why the birds attacked Bodega Bay?

Answer 1

The story centered in Bodega Bay, but if you recall, the attacks occurred all over the world. Maybe the message of the story is that there are things that happen totally out of our control even if we think we have control over our own lives

Answer 2

I suspect that it is simply more of Hitchcock's favorite theme. The fact that ordinary everyday life and situations can contain more danger than "dangerous" situations because nobody suspects that it is there. That wonderful scene with Tippi Hedren sitting in the school yard smoking a cigarette where the birds start to flock around her on the monkey bars and telephone lines and the way the camera pans out to show the "growing danger" that she is totally oblivious of is one of my favorite movie scenes. By the time she finishes that cigarette and looks around she is starting to catch on that something ain't quite right. It is that realization that your normal life is about to go crazy on you is so hard to grasp that takes a bit to sink in. Also as to Bodega Bay in particular, it is just north of San Francisco and at the time of the shooting was simply a quaint location with easy access and beautiful scenery. Could have been anywhere else on the coast as well I would think.

Answer 3

Not really, maybe it was the girl who came to visit that brought them to there. I think it was something in the air that made the birds go bloodthirsty nuts

Answer 4

There was no reason. There were a few tantalizing clues offered, but they were all classic Hitchcock "MacGuffins" - red herrings.
