SAN FRANCISCO - Walk in search of the Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill / Virtual Tour (Oct 2021) 🦜🚶‍♂️

Описание: Hello friends!

Today we are exploring the Telegraph Hill neighborhood in San Francisco, keeping our eyes out for the famous wild parrots that live there.

We started walking in Pioneer Park, with views of the SF bay, heading up to Coit Tower. We walked down the Filbert Steps, and back up the Lombard Street Steps. Were we lucky enough to see any wild parrots? Watch the entire video to find out! 😊🦜

Whether we did or not, it was a memorable walk. It was a beautiful day in October, and there were many great views of the bay from different spots along the way.

The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill was a movie, documenting a homeless man and his friendship with these birds. I highly recommend this movie. 👍Here is more information:

"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 is living rent-free in a cabin in Telegraph Hill in San Francisco, California, and a flock of feral parrots that he feeds and interacts with—cherry-headed conures, mainly, but also two blue-crowned conures, one of which is named Connor. Bittner also wrote a book by the same name on the subject.

In May 2007, the documentary aired on the PBS series Independent Lens.

Much of the documentary focuses on the individual parrots, and their relationships with one another. Bittner notes that there is humor in the piece, which he believes makes it different from many other nature documentaries."
