This Guy Cut Off His Ears To Look Like His Pet Parrots.

#1 Here's a close-up:

Ted Richards is a 56 year old man living in Hartcliffe, England, who had his ears surgically removed so he'd look more like his pet parrots. Yes, parrots: those bright, winged creatures whose only resemblance to a human being is "having eyes" and nothing else. However, Ted is totally obsessed with his birds and is undergoing body modifications to looks like a bird. His face is already covered in feather tattoos, and he even got the whites of his eyes tattooed orange and blue.

Ted is very pleased with his surgery. Te told The Telegraph "I think it looks really great. I love it. It's the best thing that has happened to me," and "I am so happy it's unreal, I can't stop looking in the mirror." His next step is to get his nose altered to look like a beak, so the opposite of that nose-job your friend got during their surgery for a "deviated septum."

Ted won't say who performed the surgery, but not everyone thinks it was a good idea. Plastic surgeon Marc Pacifico told The Telegraph he is not down with this elective ear removal:

"I am absolutely horrified to learn that someone has voluntarily put themselves forward for this to be done and possibly more so that he found somebody to actually carry it out... I would like to think whoever did this is not medically qualified because that would call into judgement their ethics and morals."

Oh and Bird Man has a girlfriend, because of course he does.
