Man chops off ears to look like parrot
Updated | By East Coast Drive
This might be the craziest story East Coast Drive has ever come across. Prepare yourself.

56-year-old Ted Richards is absolutely obsessed with his pets Ellie, Teaka, Timneh, Jake and Bubi.
His pets are parrots and Ted is on a mission to look just like them.
Yes, you read that correctly: Ted wants to look like a parrot!
He has 110 tattoos, 50 piercings, a split tongue, and had his ear lobes removed by a surgeon.
Ted has given his severed ears to a friend who is preserving them in resin.
He is now considering having his nose turned into a beak. Sorry, what?
