Rodgers Oloo Magudha, also known as Nairobi Birdman, a young man who has gained attention online for walking around with live eagles on his head and shoulders, has broken his silence about claims that he might be a witch.
In an interview with SPM Buzz blog, Magudha clarified that his affinity for birds is not related to magic but is simply his nature.
The young man explained that some of the challenges he has faced due to walking with his birds include being ostracized, as many people believe it is unusual for birds to be attracted to someone and perch on their head and shoulders.
"I have faced discrimination and many accusations. This is simply my nature. It has nothing to do with witchcraft. I just have a natural passion. That’s my drive," he stated.
Magudha’s commitment to his unique hobby remains his primary motivation, and he continues to inspire curiosity and admiration from those he encounters in the city.
Since gaining fame, Magudha has elicited various reactions. Many are astonished by his ability to walk closely with crows.
Some have speculated that he might be using magic to keep the birds with him. Previously, Magudha received a piece of land in the Konza City area.
The land was awarded during a mental health awareness walk organized by comedian Oga Obinna. This generous gift came from a real estate company recognizing his unique presence and supporting his well-being.
In addition to the land, Obinna contributed ten roofing sheets to help Magudha start building his house.
