The Wild Parrots Of Telegraph Hill : A love story...with wings
Author(s): Mark Bittner
Natural History and Environment
Like a lot of young people in the 1970s, Mark Bittner took the path of the "dharma bum". When the counterculture faded, Mark held on, seeking shelter in the nooks and crannies of San Francisco's fabled bohemian neighborhood, North Beach. While living on the eastern slope of Telegraph Hill, he made a magical discovery: a flock of wild parrots. In this unforgettable story, Bittner recounts how he became fascinated by the birds and patiently developed friendships with them that would last more than six years. When a documentary filmmaker comes along to capture the phenomenon on film, the story takes a surprising turn, and Bittner's life truly takes flight. First published 2004.
