Friday, June 26, 2026 - Controversial Kenyan content creator, Rodgers Oloo Magutha, popularly known as Nairobi Birdman, has once again caused a buzz online after a viral clip showed him casually sharing a plate of food with wild birds such as crows and black kites in his house.
The footage went viral sparking heated debate, with many
netizens questioning the health risks of dining alongside scavenging creatures
often exposed to uncontrolled environments.
Concerns escalated when Dr. Dennis Miskellah,
Secretary-General of the Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists
Union (KMPDU), weighed in.
In a post on X, he urged the Ministry of Health to
intervene, warning that such close contact between humans and wild animals
could expose Birdman to zoonotic diseases, illnesses transmitted from
animals to humans.
However, Birdman remained defiant and dismissed the alarm.
Taking to Facebook, he insisted his lifestyle has never
compromised his wellbeing.
He revealed that he has not only shared meals with his
feathered companions at home but also in harsher environments like dumping
sites and never had health issues.
“People say I’ll get sick eating with birds,”
“Yet I eat among them, even at dumping sites where they feed on
thrown-away food, and we’re still doing fine,” he emphasized.
The content creator, who has built a loyal following through
videos showcasing his unusual bond with birds, defended his philosophy on
nature, branding the health fears as exaggerated.
