It could mean that Earth won't be occupied by the Covenant bastards for long with MC returning.

Visual effect. Birds hold a lot of cultural significance for people and, as such, they have become a powerful visual effect. They are used in films, games, poems, any form of literature to create a deeper impact and dramatic effect.


Texts like ‘The Birds’ – Alfred Hitchcock, ‘The Raven’ – Edgar Allen Poe and even the American use of the Bald Eagle have all contributed to this use of imagery. Just my opinion; I doubt it has any further meaning.

What about the fact they are flying TOWARDS the "storm." Do birds really do that? All I know from experience here in nebraska is that you tend not to see any birds around in the calm as the storm approaches, that swirl is most like a hurricane, so IDK maybe, do birds fly into the eye of hurricanes? If not then why?

on an unrelated note, with the storm (can be interpreted figuratively) and the seagulls, i found myself looking over coleridge's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner"
