The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill

I saw this beautiful documentary on PBS last night and it was amazing. The documentary follows a homeless street musician, Mark Bittner, as he interacts with a flock of wild parrots on Telegraph Hill in San Francisco.

It was a wonderful documentary and brought tears to my eyes in many parts. But then I am a sucker for heart-warming animal stories!

Nearly 15-hours later I can still remember the names of the main characters (all parrots!) from the film and I think Bittner is a remarkable person. I would love to meet him someday and talk to him about his experience and his life now.

Here's the link from PBS about the documentary.
