About this product

Product Information

An uncommon bond between man and nature is the focus of Judy Irving's wonderful and informative documentary, THE WILD PARROTS OF TELEGRAPH HILL. The film follows Mark Bittner, an unemployed aging hippie, who lives off the kindness of strangers in the titular San Francisco neighborhood. His life takes on new meaning when he starts feeding a flock of wild Conures, a breed of parrot noted for its green body and cherry-red head. Native to Argentina, the birds soon feel comfortable enough to feed while perched all over Mr. Bittner. Being outcasts who yearn to remain free, a mutual respect is born between them. Daily routine soon leads to growing crowds of curious passersby, as Bittner becomes something of a local celebrity. Based on his up-close observations, Bittner gains some keen insight into the behavior of individual birds, giving them names. The resulting portraits of Connor, Mingus, Olive, Pushkin, Picasso, Sophie, and Tupelo prove that these amazing creatures deserve star credit in their own right. WILD PARROTS features some incredible close-ups, rare in-depth glimpses into the unique and often amusing habits and activities of one flock of parrots, and a surprise ending.

    Great views of SF north beach area. video great for animal lovers

    I am interested in most any film featuring SF as a backdrop since I am a native born San Franciscan and grew up there in the 1950s and 60s. This film covers my favorite areas of the City which is the North Beach/Marina/Embarcadero area. The video was under $5 on ebay so was a good value for sure. Since I also like animal subjects this was a good video for me. There are a lot of extras besides the main movie and they are just as entertaining. Animals adapt to the strangest places; I remember hearing about an owl living behind a K mart sign somewhere up north, I think in Oregon.

    The parrots were delicious.

    Fascinating on many levels. Mark Bittner is interesting, deep, well read, highly intelligent and, believe it or not, looks OK in a suit. I saw the movie when it first came out, was intrigued then, and no less intrigued so many years later. (I also happen to have parrots.)

    Excellent avian video

    Super video of a compassionate avian lover. A true story of engaging tropical parrots escaped or released to the wild adapting to a new environment in San Francisco. Charming creatures. Exquisite photography of San Francisco several years ago before it became overrun with homeless detritus. Interesting story of personal development and nature responsibility. Makes one very homesick...

    Excellent and wholesome

    The birds were beautiful and captovating. The love story was like a special added bonus. It was great to see love and care and real humans doing great things

    perfect

    It was a wonderful movie. I didn't want it to end. Laughed and cried at the same time. glad I bought it. We have a rescued Cherry head from S.F. That is why we wanted to see it.
