I was just asked to help with the following, and I'm stumped:

I can't recall the name of a horror movie I saw at least 20 years ago, but maybe you can name it based on the following scenes: One was a group of children standing around a pet bird which has had its winged clipped and they end up stoning it to death. The other involved some sort of witchcraft ritual where tiny marble-sized bags are dropped in a cauldron and they make baby crying sounds. It was a very disturbing movie. Any ideas on the name?

Anyone?

The children killing the bird sounds familiar...

That is because it is in other movies/shows.

The Wickerman

I think you're right.

I saw the Wicker Man a few months back and I don't remember anything like that at all.

Maybe you didn't see the uncut version with the cup holders. And the bitches.

The Wicker Man is the first movie I thought of and yet I don't actually recall those particular scenes either.

Ditto, and i'm pretty sure I saw the directors cut

Word on the street is that the horror film in question might be The Believers, a 1987 Martin Sheen horror/occult film.
