A MAN who had his face and eyeballs tattooed to resemble his pet parrots has gone above and beyond by removing his ears. Englishman Ted Richards, 56, is fixated by pet parrots Ellie, Teaka, Timneh, Jake and Bubi and has his face tattooed with beautiful quills. Be that as it may, the creature nut who has 110 tattoos, 50 piercings and a split tongue has made this fixation once stride assist and has had both his ears uprooted and is wanting to discover a specialist arranged to transform his nose into a mouth. Ted, a resigned shoe assembly line laborer, got his first tattoo in 1976 and has subsequent to developed a gathering of body adjustments covering very nearly his whole body including a peace sign marked to his left side shoulder with a 750 degrees centigrade hot iron and two magnets embedded in his grasp. He shares his home in Hartcliffe, Bristol with his four parrots, and South American green iguana Iggy, and pit bull terrier Candy. 

He scours the web searching for new methodology and says his facial change is a tribute to his "infants" — Ellie, a green winged macaw, and Teaka, a harlequin macaw.Ted is keeping tight-lipped about who did the six-hour operation, yet demands he is "more content than at any other time," and has even now got himself a sweetheart, Suzannah, 31. Since experiencing the operation Ted says the main issue he has is keeping his glasses set up, so he has had two little metal pins added to the side of his head. He included: "I went to the grocery store a few days ago and when I went in I said 'blimey it's so blustery out there it passed my ears over and everyone had a laugh. There's most likely when they made me they thought outside the box, Richards said. 

"In any case, genuinely, I cherish the way that I'm one of a kind and I have for a long while been itching to appear as something else." The act of evacuating somebody's ears was verifiably done as a demonstration of physical discipline in England called "trimming." Marc Pacifico, a specialist plastic specialist and individual from the British Association of Esthetic Plastic Surgeons, pummeled the surgery. He said: "I am completely appalled to discover that somebody has willfully put themselves forward for this to be done and conceivably all the more with the goal that he discovered someone to really do it. "The dismal truth of life however is that in the event that you need something gravely enough you will in the end discover somebody willing to do it. "I might want to think whoever did this is not therapeutically qualified on the grounds that that would call into judgment their morals and ethics. 

"As a certify plastic specialist you need to have an extraordinary feeling of good and moral obligation. "I can just accept the moral code and good compass of whoever did this does not." Ted, who is known as Parrot Man, said: "It took a while to do in light of the fact that there is stand out other individual on the planet who has had it done. "They are in America and transgender, and they need to resemble a reptile. "In any case, they had one done first and afterward the other later, however I had both done in the meantime. "They've likewise had their nose done to resemble a nose. I like that and I am truly considering doing that. 

"The specialist who did my ears has years of medicinal experience, and he would have the capacity to do it, no problem."The dangers of the six-hour surgery to evacuate his ears didn't appear to trouble Ted. He included: "I could have kicked the bucket from a gigantic contamination or something. It's a noteworthy employment. "It came so near my skull, as when you take a gander at me full on you can't see nothing. Also, the nerve endings and veins as well. Everything is dangerous, however I wasn't concerned one piece. "In the event that there had been any real difficulties it was down to me [not the surgeon]. Yet, I'm fortunate as I recuperate so rapidly." Ted says he no more identifies with his family and has only two companions. He said: "The parrots love it. Furthermore, I met somebody, Suzannah, who I'm moving in with in Brighton. "She adores it as she is into body alteration also. She is going to accomplish significantly more. "We're going to go insane. I may get 16 transdermals put into my head to resemble a mohican, or something to that effect, yet it will be another enormous mod. "Suzannah must I have never had the shot of having youngsters. Since my ex didn't need any I had a vasectomy. She has a 10-year-old and a two-year-old." 

Reacting to pundits, Ted said: "Bring it on. The specialist knows beyond all doubt he won't have the capacity to do it on the grounds that in the event that he got he would be struck off. "The main individuals who show pessimism are individuals who need it done or different specialists who I didn't go to. "I know I'm going to get the white coat individuals coming round saying its totally unlawful. They say we can't would what we like to do to make us appear as though we need to. "Be that as it may, my contention is what is halting me traveling to another country and having corrective surgery done by a touchy specialist, returning here, having complexities and getting the NHS to deal with them for nothing out of pocket?" 

At the point when asked the purpose behind what valid reason he needed his ears to fall off, he said: "When I was a kiddie I was constantly tormented about my ears on the grounds that they were enormous. "So I generally had long hair to cover them up. A year ago I revealed them yet I was still not upbeat, and now I've had them off no one can twist me up." Ted has given his ears to a mysterious individual he "knew would value them", why should going save them in sap and put them in plain view somewhere. Daily Telegraph
