June 4 1960 was the beginning of "Seagull Week" in Dover England where local towns people would destroy seagull eggs from the famous White Cliffs of Dover's surrounding area since the seagulls have left the cliffs and moved to the town where towns folk claim to be overrun by birds deafening dawn chorus and soiled cars and clothes. With Seagull Week in mind... the theme for today will be movies about birds-enjoy!
1 The Birds (1963) Director: Alfred Hitchcock

2 Le peuple migrateur (2001) Director: Jacques Perrin/Jacques Cluzaud/Michel Debats

3 Le marche de l'empereur (2005) Director: Luc Jacquet
