Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill

Now that is has been over a month since my last post, I wonder if any will read this.

Tonight I watched “The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill” which was entaining and very interesting documentary (hence the post). The film is about a getleman, Mark Bittner, in San Francisco that spent his time feeding a wild flock of parrots. Mark made a life of surviving and learning with “no visible means of support”. He explains how he got started doing this, how the birds interact with him and other birds, and then proceeds to tell about his favorite birds. I really enjoyed the film, it pulled me into the story and I felt for the birds and for Mark. The film is full of vidid colors and great scenes from Telegraph Hill and San Francisco. The film did not push any ideas or an agenda, just told the story of the parrots. If you are looking for something to watch, I would highly recomemend this film.
