Cleopatra was released the same year as the film that focuses on a series of sudden, unexplained violent bird attacks.
The year 1963 in film involved some significant events, including the big-budget epic "Cleopatra", Alfred Hitchcock's horror "The Birds", and two films with all-star casts, "How the West Was Won" and "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World". 
 It focuses on a series of sudden, unexplained violent bird attacks on the people of Bodega Bay, California over the course of a few days.
