The Birds (1963) Return to home, The birds (1963). The birds (1963) is a modern Hitchcock thriller/masterpiece, his first film with Universal Studios. http://www.filmsite.org/bird.html
Extractions: Memorable Moments from Great Movies! Great Moments and Scenes from Memorable Movies! Great Lines and Quotes from the Movies! Great Movies with Great Dialogue! Great Stars and Great Characters in Great Moments from Great Movies! The Birds (1963) is a modern Hitchcock thriller/masterpiece, his first film with Universal Studios. It is the apocalyptic story of a northern California coastal town filled with an onslaught of seemingly unexplained, arbitrary and chaotic attacks of ordinary birds - not birds of prey. Ungrammatical advertising campaigns emphasized: "The Birds Is Coming." This Technicolor feature came after Psycho (1960) - another film loaded with 'bird' references. Novelist Evan Hunter based his screenplay upon the 1952 collection of short stories of the same name by Daphne du Maurier - Hitchcock's third major film based on the author's works (after Jamaica Inn (1939) and Rebecca (1940) ). In du Maurier's story, the birds were attacking in the English countryside, rather than in a small town north of San Francisco. The film's technical wizardry is extraordinary, especially in the film's closing scene (a complex, trick composite shot) - the special visual effects of Ub Iwerks were nominated for an Academy Award (the film's sole nomination), but the Oscar was lost to Cleopatra . Hundreds of birds (gulls, ravens, and crows) were trained for use in some of the scenes, while mechanical birds and animations were employed for others.

Dinosaurs And Birds Chances are, unless you re a vegetarian, dinosaurs are part of your regular diet because, if birds evolved from dinosaurs, every time you chow down on a chook http://www.abc.net.au/science/slab/dinobird/story.htm
Extractions: by Dr Paul Willis (Click here for an overview of this article) Have you eaten a dinosaur lately? Chances are, unless you're a vegetarian, dinosaurs are part of your regular diet because, if birds evolved from dinosaurs, every time you chow down on a chook, you're dining on dinosaur. But how do we know birds evolve from dinosaurs? And aren't there some authorities who say that they didn't? It all depends on how you work out relationships. Working out relationships Systematics (the science of evolutionary relationships) has undergone a major change over the last couple of decades. It used to be the case that all the features of organisms were important in working out the family tree. But in the mid 1960's the German entomologist Willy Hennig changed all that. Hennig claimed that the only features that carry any useful information about pedigree are the evolutionary novelties shared between organisms. Suppose we're trying to work out the relationships between a mouse, a lizard and a fish. They've all got backbones so the feature "backbone" is useless; it's a "primitive" character that tells you nothing. But the feature "four legs" is useful because it's an evolutionary novelty shared only between the lizard and the mouse. This implies that the lizard and mouse are more closely related to each other than either is to the fish. Put another way, the lizard and the mouse share a common ancestor that had four legs . The more evolutionary novelties we can find that support a particular relationship, the greater our confidence that the relationship is correct. "Air breathing", "neck" and "amniotic egg" are another three evolutionary novelties that tie the lizard and the mouse together and leave the fish as a more distant relative.

Extractions: DINNER? IT'S FOR THE BIRDS! Hi! We have talked a bit about bird houses. Now let's look at what we can do to help provide the birds with food. Bird feeding isn't just a winter activity; it might surprise you to learn that even in spring, food is still scarce for our feathered friends. The temperatures are usually cool enough that many insect populations haven't emerged, and that's sad news for those birds who eat insects. Also, the fruit eating birds won't see their favorite foods naturally appearing until harvest! Plus, everyone is always so eager to get outdoors as soon as Spring arrives, that it is the perfect time to get yourself involved with bird feeding and bird watching. Then, by the time winter arrives, those birds who over-winter in your area will know where the food is. Of course, it will be up to YOU to keep their dinner table supplied! TIP: Remember to check out the bird books at your local LIBRARY for specific details on birds, their favorite foods, and favorite styles of dining table. For now, I have listed some basic points to get you started. I also give directions for building a simple bird feeder. You don't need to buy fancy bird
