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.

    Makes you wish you could fly with the pack!

    This documentary based film was a total joy and enlightenment to me. The film's wonderful guide is a local San Franciscan wild bird enthusiast named Mark Bittner. Mark finds solace in his immersion with the beautiful wild parrots that he feeds and nurtures daily within the confines of his abilities. Bittner has to undergo many losses and begins to understand that everything in life is tied to everything else a whole as one. Bittner experiences first hand what it is like to commune with wild yet greatly intelligent parrots which befriend him and have thrived in San Francisco outside their natural habit yet in the wild. The birds tell there own stories, yet Bittner and Director Judy Irving come together to fill in the blanks of such wonderful creatures named Picasso, Sophie, Mingus, ...

    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.)

    Rescuers Will Understand!

    This is definately a must-see documentary. I knew little or nothing about birds in general, but an aquaintence said it was great, so I went ahead and watched it. Mr Bittner is truly a wonderful man, and to take the time and the energy to befriend a wild parrot flock is extraordinary in itself. Running a pet rescue myself, I laughed so hard when they asked the woman how she got in to rescue, and the first answer that popped out was "I was dropped on my head as a child?" and then it cuts to a macaw slamming his beak repeatedly into the cage bars. Some days I feel that way too. I'm sure many pet rescuers will find it funnier than most "non-rescue" people.

    Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill

    The connection berween man and parrots is heartwarming. The fact that he could identify each one seperately, as they all are different with different personalities, jusy like any other living, breathing entity. You could identify with his pain at the death, or loss of a bird as he was in effect, their flock leader. His connection to and love for them was evident. Bought it for a good friend who has a parrot and loves them. I know she will enjoy it as I did. One of the best parts is that the bird man found love with the film maker. Always a good thing. Great movie!
