During the events of The Birds (1963) played by Malcolm Atterbury
After Lydia Brenner's house is attacked by The Birds, Al comes to the house and thinks The Birds were just panicked. Lydia and Mitch Brenner tell him about the birthday party attack and he assumes the children disturbed The Birds. After Lydia finds Dan dead, Mitch goes to speak with Al and the Santa Rosa Police. Mitch walks in with Al to The Tides Restaurant and tells everyone about The Birds killing Dan. Al says that the Santa Rosa police believe that Dan was murdered by a burglar. They continue to debate about The Birds and the Businessman and Mother in Diner leave with her kids. Melanie Daniels hears a bird and calls everyone to the window where they watch as a seagull attacks a gas station attendant. The Mother in Diner runs back in with her kids while Mitch, Al and Deke go to help the attendant. Gas from the pumps pours out towards the Businessman's car and he is engulfed in flames when he lights his cigarette. A flock of seagulls start attacking the townspeople. The flock of seagulls then suddenly leave.
