A human treat for the bird lover

I live in San Francisco and often hear and see the active flock around town yet I knew little about them until watching this charming documentary. Their individual personalities are captured as well as natural flock behavior. If you're a bird lover you will relate to the avian antics on many levels. I laughed, I cried, and I learned a little about my feathered friends. You will too.
