A man in eastern India has created a special home for many varieties of pigeon, earning him the nickname of "Birdman".

Bipra Charan Dalei works as a government employee in Bhadrak district, Odisha, but is better-known for his love and work with birds, as filmed on October 17.

Dalei constructed a sanctuary on the outer roof of his building, making a birdhouse with a small dispensary. Every day morning and evening he comes out and cares for the birds.

He reportedly pays for food and medicine for the birds from his monthly salary.

Dalei commented: "It was [my] dream from childhood to make a birds’ sanctuary."

Now he has between 20 to 25 varieties of pigeons from various states living in his sanctuary, with the present number of pigeons estimated at more than 300.
