Ted Richards is so obsessed with his parrots, he had a doctor hack off his ears.

This bird-brain with a fondness for parrots had his ears surgically removed to look more like his fine feathered friends.
Ted Richards, 56, has 110 tattoos — including on his eyeballs — as
well as 50 piercings and a split tongue, all to resemble Ellie, Teaka,
Timneh, Jake and Bubi, The Sun reported.
But he went really cuckoo by having his ears removed in a six-hour
operation. Richards now wants to find a surgeon to turn his nose into a
beak. Modal TriggerPhoto: David Hedges / SWNS.com“I
think it looks really great. I love it. It’s the best thing that has
happened to me. I am so happy it’s unreal, I can’t stop looking in the
mirror,” he told The Sun. “I’ve done it because I want to look like my
parrots as much as possible. I’ve had my hair long for so many years, my
ears have been covered up.”
The retired shoe factory worker, who got his first tattoo in 1976,
lives in Hartcliffe, England, with his parrots, as well as South
American green iguana Iggy and pitbull terrier Candy. Modal TriggerPhoto: David Hedges SWNS.comHe
doesn’t want to ruffle any feathers by revealing who performed his
grotesque surgery — but is happy to say he has a new girlfriend,
Suzannah, 31.
“There’s no doubt that when they made me, they broke the mold,” he
said. “But seriously, I love the fact that I’m unique and I have always
wanted to be different.” Modal TriggerPhoto: David Hedges SWNS.com
