The headline in the August 18, 1961 edition of the Santa Cruz Sentinel screamed "Seabird Invasion Hits Coastal Homes" and detailed how "millions" of migrating birds crashed into cars and buildings, broke television antennas, streetlights, and actually tried to enter houses. When residents went outdoors at 3 a.m. to investigate, the birds flew at the flashlight beams and drove residents back into their houses. Although Hitchcock had optioned the DuMaurier story in 1955, he began filming this movie shortly after reading about the 1961 attack.
