When Hitchcock filmed his «the Birds», he’s obviously Mature in the root of the problem — and even somewhat predicted the future. Recently the owner of the Chihuahua from Britain survived a real nightmare: a bird of prey tried to carry her pet right from the garden.
As said 72-year-old Sheila Gillanders BBC, 18-month-old Emma almost died and the tragedy was avoided only thanks to the quick reaction of the spouse of the woman, Robert.
«We heard the sound [of the bell] and I saw how close the bird. recalls Gillanders — Perhaps she ran away from the trainer. At first she just nailed [Emma] to the fence, and then began to gain altitude — but my husband managed to snatch [the dog] from her claws».
«It was an extremely large bird, like a Buzzard with a bell around his neck. Its obviously someone coached».
