The Birds Alternate Ending Analysis
The Birds: Alternate Ending

*Nat has just finished preparing the house for another night of the birds attacking. He has begun smoking his last cigarette and has thrown the pack in the fire*
*Also in his POV*

I watched as the paper crinkled under the fires heat. Outside, I could hear the bird’s consistent tapping against the wood planks on the windows and doors.
“Nat, do you think that the wood planks will hold? The tapping is harder and much stronger.” Questioned my wife whilst biting her lip. Listening, I hear the thud of bodies hitting the wood and the quick tapping of different birds, some light and fast while others deep and less consistent.

    If the first time it worked, the second time he tried to use her own words against her it didn't work as he might have expected. In fact, the smirk on her face remained even as he implied that she expected something from him. Indeed, she had something on her mind, but then again, it wasn't like she was the only one with such intentions. The back and forth exchange of words with double meaning was more than enough to assure her that he most likely wanted to get into her pants, just as much as she craved a man's touch after so much time spent in the land of insufferable farmers and drunkards. So then, why would she be ashamed? No, if anything, it made her chuckle at his comments, at least until he mentioned Reddell. "Ha-ha! Such a funny guy that you are. I would've liked to see you in my place back there."…

    Birds have hollow bones! Doesn’t that seem weird to you. HOLLOW BONES! Those stupid little creatures are so brittle! So, when I watched a bird slam into our class window in the middle of our history class (French Revolution), I screamed! Not because I was scared but because hollow bones break easily, and I was pretty sure that bird broke a few of its bones. After the accident, the bird just sat there near the window looking inside, those beady eyes seemed to be pleading for help. Well after the history class, when I noticed that the bird was still there I went up to help it. It looked petrified when I came near and opened the window. It was only then that I noticed that it was a sparrow. I took it in my hands, and made my way to the infirmary.…
