As I get older, I appreciate Hitchcock more. I saw new things, like that quirk, that I missed when I was younger. My favorite is "The Birds". It's haunting, it's creepy. When I was young, it felt like it was just a ghostly bird, that's all. But now that I'm older, I can see that this is a movie about perversions and female sexuality. That's when you see the bird disturbed. When those women are angry, it can be seen as a form of sexual harassment. The birds become active, and they can synchronize the feelings of these ladies: jealousy, anger, and the film is very effective. Really talented director.
