Attack #9: The entire Brenner house is attacked at 1:40:30
After placing Annie’s body in her home, Mitch, Melanie & Cathy return to the Brenner's house where Mitch promptly boards up all the windows.
Nothing happens.
While Lydia sits alone on a chair, Melanie sits on the couch comforting Cathy who becomes ill. Melanie helps her and, as they return, Lydia notices the sheer amount of comfort Cathy is taking from her. Lydia gives a quick disapproving glance...
...and the next onslaught begins.
Significance? This is Lydia at her most jealous. Not that Lydia cared for Cathy’s comfort. During the attack, Lydia was more than capable of uselessly pinballing Cathy about the rooms in a panicked & mindless state while the birds attacked.
What Lydia would not consciously put up with is watching Melanie exhibit a quality Lydia neither possessed no desired: that of being able to enter Cathy’s world or of understanding Cathy.
That was a talent Lydia considered “rare.” A talent possessed by Frank alone. The offense of seeing that trait - far from begin rare - exhibited by tabloid princess Melanie was an insult to injury Lydia would not endure.
It was time for somebody to pay...
But no one did pay in this attack. So, what ended the birds' assault?
The movie would have you believe it was the power going out. It's true that a bird shorted out the electricity. but the flocks continued on just a bit. What ended this attack was more sinister.
Attack #10: Melanie Daniels is attacked in an upstairs room at 1:47:42.
Though it may only seem as though Lydia was unable to unconsciously accomplish what she could consciously react to, Attach #9 merely set the stage for Lydia's true purpose and final phase in her plans for Melanie.
Time passes...
Mitch sleeps.
Melanie sits awake, Cathy sleeps.
Unfortunately...
...Lydia also sleeps and in a most not-natural position. Likely, whatever's going to happen next should involve Crows.
Hearing noise upstairs & unable to waken Mitch, Melanie goes into the upstairs bedroom and discovers the point of the last attack.
The birds found a way into the upstairs bedroom. The same bedroom where Melanie was intimate with Mitch? How did Cathy word her invitation?
I think you ought to stay the night, Melanie. We have an extra room upstairs and everything.
While Mitch was distracted downstairs, the birds punched a hole in the roof and got into the bedroom and waited. They sat & waited until everyone but Melanie was asleep. Waited until Melanie stepped fully back into the bedroom to experience what Lydia has been planning:

A little one on one time for Melanie with Lydia's full feelings, both consciously from the Seagulls...
...and subsconsciously from the Crows.
These birds literally do not attack until Melanie has fully stepped into the room. Their calmness is a bait to the foolishly curious Melanie.
Rescued by Mitch, accompanied by Lydia who has left Cathy downstairs, Melanie is in shock, in a stupor - ripe for Lydia's final move of conquest,
...and subsconsciously from the Crows.
