Detailed Animal Action Report

As Nadi (Shohreh Aghadashloo) looks out the window of her new home, she sees a dove fly onto the bird bath in the back yard. A trainer stood just off camera holding the dove, and the bird’s wings were clipped so it couldn’t fly very high. The bird jumped from the trainer’s hands onto the bird bath and it appeared as though it had just swooped down because it flapped its wings as it jumped. The trainer retrieved the bird once the scene was over.

Birds fly across the sky during the opening credits. Later, Kathy goes to the beach and we see several seagulls on the pier, in the air and one floating dead in the water. The camera caught all of this avian action as it naturally occurred, including the dead seagull.

There is another brief scene with a large black bird that flies onto a telephone pole. The cameraman also caught this bird in its natural state.
