- Lafeber Pet Birds webinar hosted by Laura Doering, former editor of Bird Talk magazine and Birds USA magazine with special guest, Mark Bittner. Parrot lovers were captivated by the wild, feathered cast of the 2003 documentary by Judy Irving, as well as by their co-star, Mark Bittner. In this live, interactive webinar Mark talks about the film and the birds, including updates on both!
Im so happy you and Judy are still together. I just happened to look up the movie title and was so pleased to find something so current.
I have not forgotten this movie so wonderful !
I just rewatched the DVD last night! one of my heros.
Just heard from Mark & Judy yesterday and hope to have them back in early 2022. They are busy restoring the movie!
I had no idea that there had been a film... I simply happened upon this video. What a treat! Now I need to find the documentary AND the film. I read the book after someone gave me two 25 year old female Senegals. Love it all.
Mark helped so many wild orphan birds,
gave Mingus many 2nd chances
🙏💜🕯️🌱🐾👣🌿🌎🕊️
Own the DVD, hope redux will also be released on DVD.
rewatching my dvd now and this makes a good update. i use to live near telegraph hill and remember seeing them near Embarcadero❤.
I wish your movie was still available to see! It’s no longer even on Prime! I am “Mother” to a re-homed Blue-Fronted Amazon. That’s what she calls me, “Mother”. I’ve got to find your book!
Watch the webinar for news on the movie. You can still purchase the DVD on Amazon, but Mark gives an update on the movie's future in the webinar.
I just watched it on Kanopy, a streaming video platform for public libraries and universities. It's free with a library card.
The film is here on youtube now, recently posted.
Try - E-BAY - Hope you see my comment after so long.
One of my friends in San Francisco used to feed them too on his porch in the sky rise building.
They bit. They have not hands. They use their beaks as hands. Amazing.
The parrots are torturing me every morning again waking me up. They pick my backyard to hang out in several days in a row each year it seems. Fun to see them. But man are they noisy! 🙉
Where can I watch this
Some people have found copies on ebay or Amazon. There is a newly restored version and we hope to have Mark & Judy join us soon to talk about it!
Airports? Are they simply attracted to flight?
In the curmudgeonly vein of "Hey you birds! Get out of my tree!" and the Sunnyvale flock which just finished squawking through my neighborhood, these birds aren't wild. They are feral. One should never feed "wild" animals...
These bird are in fact wild. There is no such thing as a domesticated parrot. A feral animal is a formerly domesticated animal that has converted to a wild state due to being left to it own devices. These parrots would be considered an introduced species because they are a wild species. Even if bred and raised in captivity, they are still a wild species. There is no difference between domestically raised parrots and domestically raised tigers, for example. Both are driven by wild instincts and are capable of learning to survive in the wild, although not all of them do.
