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

"To ensure none of the live birds were harmed, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was heavily involved, and a makeshift avian hospital was built on the set for any injured or hurt birds. Nets were placed above many of the sets so the birds would not fly around the studio." No, no animals were harmed!

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.

There is a scene towards the beginning where the leading lady brings birds to one of the male characters and as she's driving to him there is a lot of tire screeching. Later she honks the horn of a car to scare away the birds.
