20th Anniversary of The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill Start Date: Saturday 1/27/2024 — End Date: Saturday 1/27/2024 Admission:$14.00 The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill will be celebrating its 20th anniversary at the Roxie Theater featuring a live Q&A with Director Judy Irving and best-selling author Mark Bittner! A homeless musician’s life is transformed after he discovers a flock of wild South American parrots living in San Francisco. How they got there is a mystery, but Mark Bittner forms a bond with the exotic birds through his music and his patient, attentive care. Over time he comes to appreciate their individual identities and makes a case for humans to reevaluate their relationship to animals. When he is forced to leave them, he despairs over the birds’ fate.
