Propaganda:

propaganda for the sooty shearwater: per wikipedia (and their cited sources), Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds was inspired by an incident in the 60s where thousands of the shearwaters, sickened by a toxic algae bloom, were swarming around the coast in the Monterey Bay area. not the happiest of fun facts, but a fact I bore people with whenever I see a sooty shearwater nonetheless

Dead short-tailed shearwaters near Nome in Alaska. Migratory short-tailed shearwaters are Australia’s most numerous seabird, but washed-up carcasses, late arrivals and low numbers have conservationists worried.
