In the beginning of the movie The Birds, there was nothing really going on. The lady was like a bird lady or something. She obviously liked birds because she seemed to hang out in the bird shop which is where she met Mitch. Alfred Hitchcock did a good job of foreshadowing the actions to come. One by one things began to happen. The first foreshadowed appearance was the bird swooping down on her while she was paddling her boat across the lake to Mitch and Lydia’s house. The second appereance of the bird was at Anne Hayworth’s house when it smacked into the door while Melanie was at her house. Funny how none of the birds came out attacking untile the blond haired Melanie Daniels came to the small town. Why weren’t they attacking before then before she came? Did she really bring the birds with her?
