With what we now know about birds being the direct descendants of the dinosaurs, it would not be remiss to think the events of the film are a sinister conspiracy by the avian races to reclaim the Earth as their own again.

The whole film could be some sort of test run for LSD experiments or an enemy decapacitating formula [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1951_Pont-Saint-Esprit_mass_poisoning (much like the french village in 1951)]] that got caught in the local water supply. To go even further, it could be that most of the events are from the viewpoint of people infected with the drugs, imagining most of the events of the story.

** The original du Maurier story actually inverts this, sort of. The start of the bird attacks coincides with the arrival of a severe cold snap brought on by an Arctic airstream, and it's speculated in-story that the phenomena may be somehow related.

[[Lydia has some kind of power over the birds]]
There is a theory that the birds are a metaphor for Lydia's hostility towards Melanie, but what if Lydia had some kind of psychic ability towards birds of which she is not aware of and has no power over, involuntarily causing the birds to swarm and attack Melanie and the rest of the town when her anxiety about Mitch leaving her alone. It would explain why the gull attacked Melanie first (maybe Linda spotted her leaving) and also why the birds seem attracted to the place where Melanie is at the time (especially at Cathy's party, where the birds attack just after Lydia spots Mitch and Melanie talking on the hill and looks at them like he has betrayed her)

I've always had a theory about what caused the birds to start acting so differently: the lovebirds. Somehow they orchestrated everything - this would explain why the attack at the end seems to be concentrated mainly, if not solely, on the Brenner house.
