Mark Bittner was a failed musician, squatting in a dilapidated cottage in the Telegraph Hill area of San Francisco. One day he picked up a book of poetry by Gary Snyder and became inspired to seek the nature around him.
It arrived in Technicolor. Within months, he was hand-feeding a wild flock of Cherry Headed Conure Parrots. He soon named the birds and began to observe their personality traits and interactions.
In short, he became a bohemian San Francisco version of Saint Francis. Bittner’s soft-spoken, gentle demeanor is winning, and the parrots are fascinating to watch. Rent it when you need a respite from the Badass Birds of the world.
