About
'One of the most beautiful and endearing nature films you’ve ever seen, despite being filmed almost entirely within a major metropolis… Seriously, it’s like watching Jane Goodall with her chimps, except funnier and less expected. Bittner has named almost all of the 45 or 50 parrots he personally encounters; he understands their pair-bonding, he shelters sick or dying birds in his apartment, he grieves their losses and celebrates their new arrivals. So will you, and Bittner himself will transform before your eyes from a washed-up 60s loner into a genuine urban hero (and an amateur ornithologist of some importance).' Andrew O’Hehir, Salon.com
