The true story of a Bohemian St. Francis and his remarkable relationship with a flock of wild red-and-green parrots. Mark Bittner, a dharma bum*, former street musician in San Francisco, falls in with the flock as he searches for meaning in his life, unaware that the wild parrots will bring him everything he needs.

*Dharma bum (per Gary Snyder): "A homeless seeker of truth"

“A surprise underground hit.” Two Thumbs Up!
-- Roger Ebert, EBERT & ROEPER

“You might even begin reconsidering your relationship with the animal
kingdom and questioning the distance you put between yourself and nonhuman
species.”  -- Stephen Holden, NEW YORK TIMES

“It is the emotional intensity of Bittner’s experiences with parrots, experiences so strong and moving that he himself wonders ‘how do you get so attached to an animal?’ that form one of the keys to Wild Parrots’ appeal.”
-- Kenneth Turan, LOS ANGELES TIMES and NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO
