The bird thing was meant to simply show that the tripods' shields had gone down and the birds were able to get close to the machines.
I, too, found the movie to be suspenseful but wasn't overly impressed by it. It lacked focus and spread itself too thin. The movie could have done without the Tim Robbins scene (which was based on a scene from the original '53 movie). Did y'all notice Gene Barry (from the original) in this remake?
