TOPSHOT - Rodgers Oloo Magutha, 28, popularly known as Nairobi Birdman, carries a Black Kite under his care on his head as wild birds fly overhead while working as a plastic waste collector at a dumpsite in Kayole, a low-income neighbourhood on the outskirts of Nairobi, on July 4, 2026. Once a homeless teenager surviving on the streets of Nairobi, Rodgers Oloo Magutha, 28, popularly known as the "Nairobi Birdman”, has transformed himself into one of Kenya's most unusual grassroots conservationists. Living in a modest one-room house in Nairobi's Kayole neighbourhood, Magutha has gained widespread attention for rescuing injured and orphaned wild birds —from crows, pigeons and owls to black kites and other raptors— which he rehabilitates and, whenever possible, releases back into the wild, while others remain under his care. His viral social media videos, showing him feeding the birds from the same plate, allowing them to roam freely inside his home and walking through the city with flocks of birds following him, have turned him into a neighbourhood celebrity. To support himself and the birds, Magutha earns a living collecting recyclable plastic from dumpsites and cleaning waste from Nairobi's rivers, saying the work reflects his commitment to protecting the environment. His unconventional approach to caring for wild birds has also brought him into conflict with Kenyan authorities, who argue that keeping protected wildlife in a residential area poses legal and public health concerns, while supporters see his work as a rare example of individual dedication to urban wildlife conservation despite his limited means.
