Though the moniker 'birdman' may not conjure up images of a superhero, that is what India's Joseph Sekar is to the thousands of parakeets that he feeds daily. The 62-year-old Chennai resident says that he had always left small amounts of rice and grain out for the neighborhood sparrows and squirrels. However, things took a dramatic turn in 2004 after a 9.1 magnitude earthquake in the Indian Ocean triggered a massive tsunami that impacted many Indian cities, including Chennai.

            Wow I have actual Y learned a lot more than I thought I would. Some people have so much love that it can go around for everyone and everything... Even the parakeets. He must spend a lot of money on rice. I know it say he only make $13 usd a week but he does not live in the U.S. So it is probably a lot more money there.
