The Birds mistakes

Mistake Continuity: When Tippi Hedren is having her head wound cleaned in the restaurant, Rod Taylor is wiping her blood off with a tissue but it does not actually come off; in the next shot, however, there is clearly no blood on her head.

Mistake Continuity: After Melanie has been bandaged up after her attack, she sits up on the sofa, and you can see two large bloody scratches on her left cheek. These scratches disappear when Mitch and Lydia walk Melanie outside to the car.

Mistake Continuity: When Lydia brings out Cathy's birthday cake, in a wide shot the icing is white, then in a closeup the icing is a pink colour.
