While living on Telegraph Hill in San Francisco, Mark discovered a flock of wild parrots living outside his apartment, and developed a remarkable relationship with the birds. He became one of San Francisco's famed neighborhood characters, known as "Parrot Man." In this episode, we speak about the heartwarming story of his friendship with the birds as told in the book The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill, and the award winning documentary of the same name. We explore how his unique experience gave him a new appreciation for the animal kingdom, and broadened his understanding of consciousness. Years ago, when I saw the movie, The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill, I knew there was something special about Mark. His humility, sincerity, and thoughtfulness are qualities that seem rare to find these days. I hope you enjoy meeting him through this talk.You can find Mark at markbittner.netThe journey to Telegraph Hill Living on the streets of San FranciscoParrots and consciousnessSuddenly famous​ Meditating and your life pathHis 3 wishes Mark and the parrotsTelegraph Hill​ Parrot personalities Anthropomorphizing parrotsMoral creatures​ Parrot man CaptivityTraining Dogan​ Leaving Telegraph Hill​ Quotes from the bookTelepathy?​ De facto scientistWriting the book, making the movie Dogan, a special friend​ Concerns for the flock​ Dharma BumFollow Gentle FindsWebsite: www.gentlefinds.comInstagram: @gentlefindspodcastSupport the show
