Telegraph Hill memories

Last weekend I saw the film The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill. I walked up & down the steps around Telegraph Hill (Greenwich Steps?) when in San Francisco last year but I don’t remember seeing any parrots. It was quite late and the sun was setting (the photos right were taken that evening) so maybe it was too late for parrots to be out & about.

The movie is delightful. It’s the tale of one mans journey to understanding and is full of wonderful characters, only a few of them human.  Directed/filmed by Judy Irving; Mark Bittner and avian stars Mingus, Connor, Picasso, Sophie, Olive, Pushkin, Tupelo story is set amongst the sights, sounds and community of Telegraph Hill and North Beach.

If you like San Francisco, People, or Parrots make the effort to see this film. If you don’t see it anyway because by the end you will.
