		Bird is a fascinating if little-known character from history, who, were it not for his wife’s food allergies, might have simply carried on being a little-known pharmacist in some nondescript shop in Birmingham, England, and leaving us all the poorer for it.
		Bird didn’t technically invent the flour, though he was the first person to use it as a thickener for liquids.
		History records that Bird simply could not bear to see his wife, who was at once afflicted both with a love of custard and an allergy to eggs, go without dessert.

		The birds are massing, and Taylor's performance makes us feel the weariness of a man gathering his resolve for one more battle.
		Because "The Birds" is an achievement in special effects -- of both images and sound -- the carefully planned and choreographed final scenes depend largely on the actors' convincing us that the danger is real.
		The bird shop scene alone, for Rod Taylor to strike that balance between arrogance and charm, with a point of view regarding the law and society that was a bit quaint even in 1963, is quite an accomplishment.

		I came across an encyclopedia entry on Alfred Bird last night and discovered that not only was he an expert pharmacist and chemist, he was also a talented musician, wont to amuse his dinner guests by performing various popular melodies of the day on water glasses.
		My first thought was that he performed on some version of the so-called water harp, or even better the glass armonica (my personal favorite of Benjamin Franklin's many inventions...and his too, I understand).
		Thus it wouldn't have been considered odd for a learned man, even one of Dr. Bird's stature, to be highly proficient at an instrument (even a weird one like the water glass).
