Movie Night
Join CAFA on July 13th for a showing of “The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill,” the 2005 award-winning documentary from the book of the same name. Written by Mark Bittner, this film chronicles the remarkable relationship between a previously homeless San Francisco man and the flock of wild parrots he befriended on Telegraph Hill. Mark formed individual relationships with many of the parrots, who were mostly cherry-headed conures with a smattering of other conures thrown in. The book and the film are quite different, so make sure you also check out the book, which is available in CAFA’s library. We’ll also be showing some of the newly released extras after the film, time permitting, so even if you’ve seen the film before, there will be lots of new stuff to see!
Bruce Newman of the San Jose Mercury News says that, “It is that rare documentary that has romance, comedy, and a surprise ending that makes you feel as if you could fly out of the theatre.”
Come join us for this very special movie night with popcorn and snacks. Fun for the whole family!

kept informed as to what's going on in the effort or wish to
help in the effort, form a neighborhood watch or perhaps
volunteer your property as a sanctuary for these innocent
victims. We are in need of property owners in the area where the
birds nest, to allow alternative nest platforms to be erected on
their property.
