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.","brand":"Crown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43365631459583,"sku":"9781400081707","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781400081707_s600x595.jpg?v=1775595039","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781400081707","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
