Something for the Birds is a 1952 American comedy film directed by Robert Wise and starring Victor Mature, Patricia Neal and Edmund Gwenn.

Johnnie meets Anne Richards, who's interested in preventing a gas company from drilling on certain west coast lands, which should destroy the breeding grounds of some California condors.

The film was based on an original story by Joseph Petracca and Alvin Josephy about the romance between an environmentalist and a lobbyist.

[5][6] The male romantic lead was given to Victor Mature, who was meant to be in The Farmer Takes a Wife for Fox but was reassigned.

"[12] Producer Julius Blaustein liked Mature and Neal so much he bought an original story from Francis Cockerell, The Desert, to reteam them but it was never made.
