He’d gone to San Francisco at the age of twenty-one to take a stab at a music career, but he hadn’t had much success. After many years as an odd-jobber in the area, he accepted work as a housekeeper for an elderly woman. The gig came with a rent-free studio apartment on the city’s famed Telegraph Hill, where he made a magical discovery: a flock of brilliantly colored wild parrots.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill\u003c\/i\u003e, Bittner recounts how he became fascinated by the birds and patiently developed friendships with them that would last more than six years. When a documentary filmmaker comes along to capture the phenomenon on film, the story takes a surprising turn, and Bittner’s life truly takes flight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eMARK BITTNER is the subject of a documentary film, also titled \u003ci\u003eThe Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill\u003c\/i\u003e, directed by Judy Irving.
