'Nairobi Birdman' Rescues Helpless Birds in Kenya, Giving Them a Home He Never Had

# 'Nairobi Birdman' Rescues Helpless Birds in Kenya, Giving Them a Home He Never Had Rodgers Oloo Magutha tends to Nairobi's fallen birds-kites, owls, pigeons-from his own modest lodgings, a man who grew up homeless now offering the shelter he was denied. His childhood was spent slipping into Lake Nakuru National Park to watch birds in stolen moments of peace, and living on the streets with injured creatures who, like him, had nowhere else to go. "I cannot put more than ten different species of birds in one place," he explains, his apartment now bursting with wings and need, a temporary sanctuary born of necessity rather than design. The Nairobi Birdman dances with marabou storks on Instagram and teaches children about flamingo biology, transforming personal scarcity into abundance for others, even as he dreams of something larger-a proper rescue center where his passion might finally have room to breathe.
