Okay -- this is just a guess, I do not really know what I'm talking about, but my guess is that they portrayed some of the characters in the movie as being less than ideal people. THUS, it is possible that someone could claim their character was defamed. SO, to give themselves legal wiggle room " ... characters, names, businesses and certain locations and events have been fictionalized for dramatic purposes." This way, SHOULD they ever end up in court over something in the movie, they could say, "We weren't talking about you ... WE were talking about a FICTIONAL character." (i.e., the disclaimer at the end of the credits). Net: Every component, such as the actual # of birds, would go to the defense of that concept, in such a situation. (Note, as they say, even the names of the real people were changed to protect the guilty.) But that is just my guess. Does that make sense?
