Ending / spoiler

The sharks were herding the people through Aquatica to sink it so that they could escape. This is because the top eight feet of the fences are not titanium. Susan, Preach and Carter then attempt to kill the Gen II Mako. It eats Susan and almost escapes, but Preach blows it up just in time. He and Carter are the only survivors.

Russell Franklin: Just what the hell did you do to those sharks?
Dr. Susan McCallister: Their brains weren't large enough to harvest sufficient amounts of the protein complex. So we violated the Harvard Compact. Jim and I used gene therapies to increase their brain mass, a larger brain means more protein. As a side effect the sharks got smarter.
Janice Higgins: You stupid bitch!
Trivia: Director Renny Harlin has a cameo as one of the employees of Aquatica who are leaving the facility for their weekend break in the opening scene.
Question: How did they do the scene when one of the sharks ate the bird? I know they used animatronic sharks for any interaction with the people, so did they use the same method for the bird? It was "inside" the shark after all.
