Kenya: 'Nairobi Birdman' Shares Life and Home With Wild City Birds | Resurgent Africa | N18G
In the heart of Nairobi, twenty-eight-year-old Rodgers Oloo Magutha, known locally as the 'Nairobi Birdman,' has turned his small apartment into a sanctuary for rescued urban birds. Having forged a deep kinship with wildlife while living on the streets, Magutha now spends his days sorting recycling at dumpsites, where he frequently rescues injured or orphaned species ranging from pigeons to massive marabou storks. While his viral TikTok and Instagram videos show him sharing meals from the same plate as his feathered companions, his intimate lifestyle has drawn sharp criticism from medical professionals warning of zoonotic diseases like avian flu. Unfazed by the scientific backlash, Magutha releases the birds once they heal and defends his routine as a lesson in survival and co-existence. He aims to use his growing platform not as a public health threat, but as an educational tool for global wildlife conservation. Alyson Le Grange brings you more on this story on Firstpost Africa.Chapter Plates:
