“The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree”, but most apple seeds don’t grow where they are dropped - they are carried away by birds or rodents and seed elsewhere. Also, most apples aren’t true to seed anyway - plants grown from seed don’t bear the same fruit
Lol, and here I am watching The Birds.
I wonder if The Birds was the first horror story based on what would happen if ordinary things suddenly turned crazy and evil.
Apparently, the first horror movie was made in 1896, so I’m guessing probably not. Just cracked me up when I read your comment while watching a freaking movie about birds gone mad. You have a special way with words, lol.
