General audiences

US film rating

Birds encounter predators, hunting and environmental hazards. Some filming involved trained birds; the images are not all distant, unobserved wildlife footage.

Our notes are a starting point, not an age recommendation. G and PG films can still include intense moments. You know your family best.
