The
Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill : A Love Story . . .with Wings
by Mark Bittner
Book Description: The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill is the inspiring
story of how one man found his life’s work—and true love—among a
gang of wild parrots roosting in one of America’s most picturesque urban
settings.
Mark Bittner was down on his luck. He’d gone to San Francisco at the
age of twenty-one to take a stab at a music career, but he hadn’t had
much success. After many years as an odd-jobber in the area, he accepted
work as a housekeeper for an elderly woman. The gig came with a rent-free
studio apartment on the city’s famed Telegraph Hill, which had somehow
become home to a flock of brilliantly colored wild parrots.
In this unforgettable story, Bittner recounts how he became fascinated
by the birds and made up his mind to get to know them and gain their trust.
He succeeds to such a degree that he becomes the local wild parrot expert
and a tourist attraction. People can’t help gawking at the man who, during
daily feedings, stands with parrots perched along both arms and atop his
head. 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.
