Back at Universal Studios, Hitchcock set to work on the film's complex set pieces, culminating in the terrifying bird attack in the attic. For Tippi Hedren, the terror was all too real.
For five days, the three prop men had great huge cartons filled with ravens and seagulls and crows, you know, pigeons and, they just kept hurling birds at me for five days. And I would just fend them off as they came towards me.
They kept throwing birds at Tippi, incessantly, nonstop, you know. Cut, alright, let's go, and put chains and makeup and tear the dress a little and the suit she was wearing, tear that a little and let's go, let's go, and more birds.
Towards the end of it, one of them jumped and it cut my eye. Just below my eye, thank God, and I just, oh, I had had it with that whole thing and I got all of the birds off of me. And I just sat in the middle of the set and just started to cry, from sheer exhaustion. And everybody left the set. They just left me there.
She was in bed three days at the end of it. Kaput.
