a wonderfully made documentary! the story line is consistent and keeps you glued for the next situation or event in the parrots and bittners involvement with them and their daily life.
you will feel very sorry for some of the parrots. and feel glad that bittner is there to care for them. but in the end - nature wins.
my only problem with this docu was the taking of "mingus" and some other parrots (which were caged) to a parrot rescue center. it is never explained why bittner couldn't keep the indoor caged parrots when he moved. he found a place to live! and he loved "mingus". this decision is never made clear.
otherwise i would suggest this movie to anyone interested in urban wild life and human interaction with them!
