The Wild parrots of Telegraph Hill

[raksmama]

Anyone see the movie or read the book "the Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill"?
We enjoyed seeing the movie last year but did not even know there was a book. I just got the book last month when I was in San Fransisco and read it as if it were a page turning novel.I couldn't put it down!
it made me want to see the movie again so we just did.
Children will enjoy the movie too. I really recommend both.
here is the web site for the book www.markbittner.net
here is the web site for the film www.pelicanmedia.org

My mom and I saw the movie when dd was a baby at one of those "bring your baby to the movies" days. I thought it was great.

Well then, if you all liked the movie you positively absolutely HAVE to read the book!
You really get to know the bird’s even better and read more in depth about the man's (Mark Bittners) story.

For a very recent (last month I think) update on the parrots read this article on his website http://www.markbittner.net/Writings_...dinance_1.html
