Man Cuts Off His Ears To Look Like A Parrot!!

@ story Oh, so when Van Gogh cuts his ear off for a lover it's romantic, but when this guy does it for his parrots it's "disturbing?" Ted Richards, a 56-year-old English man from Bristol, recently had both of his ears removed in a six hour operation. His goal? To look more like his five pet parrots.

He already has several feather-like tattoos on his face (110 on his body in total) and says that he's now looking for a surgeon who will help turn his nose into a beak.!!! Asked why he had his ears removed, he said: "I didn't like them and I love body modification." And Mr Richards said criticism of his appearance did not bother him. "Everyone's got their own opinions and are entitled to their own opinions," he added. He also told the audience about his "party trick" of using magnets in his hands to be able to pick up coins.
