This movie contains 21 potentially triggering events.
"To ensure none of the live birds were harmed, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was heavily involved, and a makeshift avian hospital was built on the set for any injured or hurt birds. Nets were placed above many of the sets so the birds would not fly around the studio." No, no animals were harmed!
Yes, multiple birds die throughout the movie however they show a fake looking dead bird at 45:00 and more at 1:00:00, no blood or gore just a stuffed looking seagull.
There are also other scenes of characters showing or holding fake dead birds with no blood or gore.
