Every animal in a Hollywood film is well-trained. It is not difficult
to train a horse or a dog. But have you ever heard of trained ravens?
Not just one or two, but nearly a hundred of them? Even this was made
possible in Hollywood, when the creator of some of the best suspense
films in the history of cinema, Alfred Hitchcock, decided to make a film called Birds.
In the story, birds from all over the world start attacking humans.
Hitchcock needed a variety of birds, but what was required in the
largest number was ravens. Notices were placed in the press all over the
United States, asking people to contact the filmmaker if they knew how
to get hold of trained ravens.
6 Someone replied within a few days. He was asked to bring his birds,
and he arrived with almost a hundred trained ravens. Admittedly, their
training had not gone very bad. That is to say, they could not do
anything that might be seen as extraordinary. But if as many as fifty
ravens are told to perch quietly in a row on a specified spot, and if they obey this command instantly, isn't that pretty impressive?
Answer the fallowing questions.
1.“Even this was made possible in Hollywood”. What was that difficult thing made possible in Hollywood?
