Review of The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill (2003) by Don S — 07 Feb 2013
Good stuff. I enjoy a good nature documentary. Bees and ants!? I love em! This is more a film-type documentary, but without much narration, it feels more like a nature documentary. That is a big plus. Bittner is a likable guy, and there's not much to say about the birds. Just watch the birds!
I'm typically impressed with parrots. They are either really smart or really good at pretending to be smart. I suspect they are actually smart. Bittner accidentally becomes a scientist who studies the parrots in a sort of natural environment.
So finally, I must say it made me very sad. Connor is a blue-headed parrot (that's technical terminology) among a flock of red-headed parrots. He's mild-mannered and even protective of some of the weaker birds. His fate is pretty sad. Overall, it's a pretty decent story and the birds are really lovable. But I wish I didn't know about that ending.
