Wild Parrots Of Telegraph Hill Special Collector's 2-Disc DVD VIDEO DOCUMENTARY

Description: STOCK PHOTOS ONLY THE WILD PARROTS OF TELEGRAPH HILL SPECIAL COLLECTOR'S 2-DISC SET This documentary explores the highs and lows of a group of city-dwelling parrots in San Francisco and the aging artist who befriends, nourishes, and names them. Throughout the film, we encounter numerous unforgettable personalities and discover how remarkably alike the human and animal realms truly are. With quiet perseverance and a keen eye, what seems like a dull topic transforms into an enriching and captivating film. The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill chronicles the life of Mark Bittner, a gentle homeless musician who has formed a bond with a flock of wild parrots in a San Francisco neighborhood. As the camera focuses on Bittner, it zeroes in on individual parrots, showcasing their unique traits and species characteristics. This leads us back to Bittner's own experiences, the web of friendships that uplift him, and the interactions between the parrots—a non-native species—and both the local ecosystem and city governance. Each topic unfolds another layer, transforming a vibrant flock of birds into a microcosm of nature and society. Filmmaker Judy Irving has crafted an outstanding documentary by attentively observing the intricacies of her subject's world. Everything one might expect from a mainstream film—romance, conflict, humor, sadness, and dynamic personalities—is abundantly present, yet the protagonists are those with brilliant red and green plumage. Truly fulfilling. --Bret Fetzer Described as an "engrossing, delightful film" by The Washington Post, The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill stands as a genuine sleeper success of the year. The charming narrator is Mark Bittner, an aging bohemian, but the vibrant flock of urban parrots truly steals the spotlight, with their surprisingly human behaviors offering an astonishing and rare perspective. The film chronicles the lives of these wild birds nestled within San Francisco's greenery as Bittner befriends, nourishes, and names various members of the group. Along this journey, we are introduced to many unforgettable characters: among them is Connor, the cantankerous yet endearing outcast longing for companionship, and "the lovers," Picasso and Sophie, inseparable until Sophie is left in sorrow following Picasso's disappearance. Bittner, more than just a bird enthusiast, finds comfort in his deep engagement with these strikingly beautiful creatures—but how will he manage when evicted from his haven, forced to live apart from the parrots? Filled with romance, comedy, and a twist ending that will "make you feel like you could fly out of the theater" (San Jose Mercury News), The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill beautifully illustrates the profound similarities between the human and animal worlds.
