Bird Box,” uniquely differs compared to other post-apocalyptic films such as, “The Quiet Place,” “It Comes at Night,” “I Am Legend,” and quite honestly, even, “Zombieland.” Within all of these films, you are introduced to the characters in a non-linear fashion, where you meet them in the post apocalyptic world. This forces you to pay attention and pose the question, “How did they get here?” and you keep watching to find out. Just as the the rest of these films, “Bird Box,” shares with you the rules of the world, such as, you’ll see them if you look into the outside world, or like in “A Quiet Place,” if you make a loud enough noise, even while you’re inside, they’ll come after you. Also, something these films have in common, besides in “I Am Legend,” is that there are other survivors with the lead character that could be either enemies or allies throughout the film. Recently, however, an increase in development and removal of damaged and dead trees has left many cavity-nesting birds with fewer natural places to raise their young. In addition, invasive birds, such as the European starling and the house sparrow, compete with native bird species for the use of the remaining cavities. Many people have been upset about the fact that we can’t see the monsters, nor is there any explanation about how the apocalypse even started in the film. Well friends, my answer to that question is that the monsters are our personal demons that only we can see, such as comparing ourselves to strangers on the internet, hurting someone you loved so badly then them passing away, looking at yourself and hating what you see, or really anything under the Sun that could hurt someone. This is why we can’t see the monsters. It’s the personal demons and pain of the characters following them. This is related to our inability to connect has human beings. This is why we are so lonely. We don’t take the time to ask people how they are doing and what’s going on in their heads. We don’t take the time to care enough or listen. We have become a selfish society, who thinks the world only revolves around ourselves, but if we got off our phones and truly saw the world for what it was and the people in it, and gave reaching out a chance, then possibly we wouldn’t be so lonely anymore. This refers to what Charlie was talking about in the movie, that “demons come in all shapes and sizes…that once judged…will be the end of us as humans.”

In an area where plantation over time will grow level with the bird box entrance hole, those obstructing the bird coming and going, this would be a problem.

This is why, at the end of “Bird Box,” Malorie looks up while in the courtyard, to the birds flying around the covered terrarium after letting her’s go. She has achieved freedom — freedom of emotion, spirit, and journey of finally being able to connect — she was let out of her box, and so were her birds. This will give birds a better chance of finding and using your box, and it may even be used for winter cover if put outside earlier. Don't be discouraged if birds don't find the box in the first season; sometimes it can take a few years for the birds to find the box. The sense of sight is obviously a very important aspect of this film, as well as an extremely important lesson. We depend too much on it. We don’t allow ourselves to use our other senses to enhance our lives and emotions, nor do we allow ourselves the time or chance to be introspective and discover who we truly are and how we feel. That was Marlorie’s biggest struggle. Though she was an artist and painted her perspective on the world, she didn’t have any perspective of herself and didn’t share who SHE was with others. This is the point where she is the bird, and her soul takes flight throughout the movie, meaning the perspective of what she needed was not through her sight, it was through her mood and emotions — which eventually helped to free her at the end. This is why the term “Bird,” is so important, because she is in her own “box” meaning her own body — seeing herself for who she truly is, to the point where they reach the School of the Blind — the community of hope and a place they can call home — and she gives Boy and Girl names based off emotions she felt for those she named them after, and she called herself their mother — which she was. Being that the place of solace in this world was a school for the blind, and once arriving, Malorie saw everyone talking and sitting by one another — happy, says so much. Most people there didn’t and couldn’t take an exterior point of view on who they met, they saw with their heart, not their eyes, which is why they survived and aren’t lonely. They didn’t allow the distractions of life to get in their way, they went with what they felt.You don't have to worry to much about where to place a bird box for Blue Tits, Coal Tits and Great Tits, as all will take to a simple multi-use bird box. Now that’s all well and good, but what if you have some ferocious feline lurking about? In that case, always make sure Mr Mittens and other local predators can’t get to the nest box, and hang it at least 2 metres above ground level .
