Daphne du Mauriers did a good job of giving you the impression this could really happen. The story contained deaths of people and continuous attack from birds. She also did a good job of making it realistic. When the attacks were first reported people laughed at it and didn't believe such a thing. If birds were to attack now the same thing would probably happen. ( )
