If cutting off his ears wasn't bird-brained enough, Richards plans to turn his nose into a beak. Yes, a parrot's beak!

The procedure was heavily criticised by plastic surgeons from around the globe

Awhile back, this man went on pretty interesting vacation – he tried to become a goat for three days!
