What are the Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill?
The wild parrots of Telegraph Hill have been a San Francisco icon ever since the 2005 film of the same name was released. Natives of the city had been familiar with the parrots since the 1990s, when they first began to settle and breed in the city in large numbers. Visitors to the city often seek out the flock of feral parrots during their visits, because the ever growing flock of tropical birds is a unique and startling sight in the urban environs of Northern California.
