The Birds.(1963)
starring:

Rod Taylor
Tippi Hendren
Suzanne Pleshette

The birds is another Alfred Hitchcock horror thriller story, written by 
Daphne Du Mauerier in 1952, and the screen play was written by Evan 
Hunter. It is set in Bodega Bay in California and,
the story is of a wealthy socialite from San Francisco who follows
her potential boyfriend to a small Northern California town, that shortly
after her arriving takes a turn for the worst when birds of all kinds
suddenly start attacking
 the people and as the film goes on, the number
 of birds increase, and so does their vicious murders. This thriller 

shocked the audience especially because the deaths were brutal
 and even women and children were killed. 
The scene near the end of the film where Tippi Hendren is ravaged and
brutally attacked, almost to death, by the birds who had evaded the house took a
week to film. The birds where attached to her clothes by long nylon threads so
they could not fly away, and she did end up with some genuine injuries.
