The Wild Parrots of Telegraph hill DVD package coverreview by Brian Charles Clark

Bird lovers, animal lovers, people watchers, rejoice: the not-be-missed The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill is back with more of everything. More parrots, updates on bohemian ornithologist Mark Bittner and director Judy Irving, plus a slew of other material amounting to nearly five hours of DVD-watching pleasure crammed onto two discs.

For those who’ve already seen the film, the biggest bonus may be the update on Mark Bittner, the lovable, idealistic, keen-eyed amateur ornithologist who observed, cared for and befriended a flock of wild parrots living on San Francisco’s Telegraph Hill. Not wanting to spoil the film’s ending for first-time viewers, I’ll merely say the ending is somewhat wrenching, so it’s good to know what became of Bittner. Read more on Curled Up With A Good DVD…
