Tippi Hedren recalls her
days with ‘The Birds’
BY LISA MCKINNON
SCRIPPS HOWARD NEWS SERVICE
She is almost laughing
when she tells them, but
Tippi Hedren’s behindthe-scenes stories about
shooting “The Birds” with
director Alfred Hitchcock
sound like nightmares
come to life.
For one scene, plastic
tubes ran up her back
and through her hairdo,
the better to deliver fake
blood on cue.
For another, rubber
bands were used to attach
real birds by their legs to
her clothing, forcing the
creatures to flutter in her
face, again and again.
“The special ef fects
people had a ball on this
film,” Hedren said during
a phone call. “And as crude
as they were, the special
effects hold up when you
see them today.”
“The Birds” may have
been released more than
45 years ago, but Hedren’s
performance as the impeccably groomed, cool-as-a-
cucumber Melanie Daniels made such an impression that the character
continues to inspire costumed look-alikes at film
festivals and Halloween
parties.
“People show up dressed
like her all the time,”
Hedren, 80, said. “It’s
really quite stunning.”
Hedren attends screenings and answers questions about the film, often
as a fundraiser for the
Shambala Preserve, which
she founded 27 years ago
as a home for abandoned
and exotic felines.
Among the 58 animals
now living at the preserve
are two “big cats” that had
been someone’s pets until
they were found wandering down a street in Missouri, Hedren said.
“I’m working on legislation to stop the issue
of private ownership of
these animals. If people
don’t bother to ask how
big a dog is going to get or
how expensive it is going
to be, they aren’t going
to think about that when
they see an adorable tiger
cub, either,” she added.
Hedren also was active
in the creation of the
Captive Wildlife Safety
Act. Signed by President
George W. Bush in 2003,
it outlaws the interstate
transport of “big cats”
for the pet trade.
If you want to know
what scares Hedren these
days, don’t ask about
birds or Hitchcock. Ask
how she manages to raise
the $75,000 Hedren says
is needed each month to
keep the animals of Shambala in food, shelter and
veterinary care.
The preserve, which is
near Acton, Calif., and also
is Hedren’s home, is open
to the public one weekend a month for guided
walking tours. Those who
donate money through
the preserve’s Adopt a
Wild One program have
separate Parents’ Day visiting hours, and in the
summer a tent furnished

with canopied feathered

Hedren is optional.
If raising money for
Shambala requires that
Hedren relive whatever
lingering nightmares she
may have of “The Birds,”
so be it.
“I’ve seen it so many
times, I’ve lost count,”
said Hedren, who often
attends such events wearing the bird-shaped brooch
Hitchcock gave her at one
of their first meetings. “At
this point, it has become
a cult film with a life of
its own.”
