People not believing that all birds are suddenly murderous, and quoting science, is not the same thing as gaslighting.

To add some context to the other comment here: the ASPCA is the same organization that oversaw the filming of the original Ben-Hur in which over 100 horses were killed.... and they allegedly had no idea about it. So either they're incompetent or they're lying but i personally wouldn't rely on their statements about on-set conditions for animals

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.

Yes if you define being trapped in cars, homes, and buildings as claustrophobic. There are many scenes throughout the movie where characters are trapped hiding somewhere from the birds.
