The Birds plot
"...and remember, the next scream you hear may be your own!"
Melanie Daniels is shopping in San Francisco when she meets Mitch Brenner, who is looking for birds as gifts for his sister's birthday. He recognizes Melanie, but pretends to mistake her for an assistant saleswoman. She plays the game. Melanie decides to buy the birds herself and drive to Bodega Bay, where Mitch's sister's birthday party is taking place. There, however, she is attacked by a seagull, which is the start of several attacks by an ever-growing group of birds.
