Will their chicks soon join the flock in Telegraph Hill?

It used to be that the Wild Parrots of San Francisco kept mostly to the area around Telegraph Hill (as you can see here on the two-DVD Collector’s Edition of the famous movie, just released).

Will the Parrot cell phone-accessory company be able to change our state bird from quail to parrot?
Only Time Will Tell.
