"The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill is a 2003 documentary film directed, produced, and edited by Judy Irving. It chronicles the relationship between Mark Bittner, an unemployed musician who lives rent-free in a cabin in the Telegraph Hill-neighborhood of San Francisco, and a flock of feral parrots that he feeds and looks after." The supporting cast members, a rambunctious flock of urban parrots, are the true stars. The film follows the ups and downs of these wild birds within the green niches of San Francisco. Along the way, we meet many unforgettable characters. Among them are Connor, the grouchy yet lovable outcast of the flock, crying for a mate but luckless in his pursuits, and "the lovers", Picasso and Sophie, inseparable until Sophie is forced into mourning when Picasso disappears. Packed with romance, comdy and a surprise ending The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill shows just how amizingly similar the human and animal worlds can be. Rated G
