Okay I am bringing this up because after looking at a few pictures in the Photo Association thread I noticed something to which made me think of other rides.

So here it is: I get that Crows, Owls, Ravens, and Vultures can symbolize danger or harbingers of doom and peril but how many times is the Mouse going to use the bird gag before a large drop or scary point in an attraction?

Condors/Vultures - Expedition Everest, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Splash Mountain

Crows/Ravens - Haunted Mansion, Snow White's Scary Adventure

Owls - Twilight Zone Tower of Terror

I'm sure I am missing other uses of the bird thing as well as other reused gags so if you know of something I missed please feel free to share them below!

Actually, I was thinking about this the last time I rode Mermaid... Flotsam and Jetsam hover your car in the same way.. Basically like 'water vultures'... I agree with you..

Great observation! We should deconstruct the meaning of birds in Disney imagery.

So is there a story as to why the Imagineers made an homage to Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho?

As noted above, it's probably just to pay homage to a film they like in an area that's thematically appropriate. Same reason why there's a tribute to It's A Wonderful Life at Echo Lake near Min & Bill's Dockside Diner.

And what about those birds in the Enchanted Tiki Room? Had I read this thread first, I might have run out screaming!

Alfred Hitchcock directed a film "Tower of Terror" in 1939

Released as part of 'The War Film Collection', the Tower of Terror spills over into the realms of horror genre

No he didn't. "Tower of Terror" was directed by Lawrence Huntington.
