About Mark

In 1973, at the age of 21, Mark Bittner left his home in Seattle for San Francisco with two aims: he hoped to make a career in music and to unravel the mysteries of consciousness. The only unraveling that took place was his hope to have a career in music, and he ended up on the street. But he never quit his pursuit of the mysteries of consciousness. Surprisingly, a lot of the loose ends of his many-years-long study came together in 1996 when he began to feed and observe a flock of wild parrots in San Francisco. Out of that experience came a book and a documentary film, both entitled “The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill.” Mark is currently working on a book and a complementary set of music recordings about the events that led up to his time as a homeless seeker. The book is called “Street Song” and the recordings are called “Street Songs.”
