I don't know - you were the star of the best known national anthem in the world at one time!
Shame they had to change that .....
There are worse thing than being called the 'Bird Man' - and you're doing a great job for the birds .... it's the same worldwide, sadly, for birds and other animals suffering loss of habitat to development ... something we can all, like you, compensate for to an extent ...
Cheers,

Although one day there cam a knock on my door and a man stood there with one of these Pale Headed Rosellas clutched in his hands which were coverd in blood from his bites. I found this bird down the road under a bush and a neighbour said i should take it to the "Bird Man"
I told him that these birds really get into deadly combat when fighting for a hen in the breeding season. I put it in with a group of Cockatiels which I had then and after about 2 months I was able to release him back to the wild. The pair of Rosellas seen in the pic are optimistically checking out an old nest box in my garden . I did eventually replace it with a new one.
No Paul they are in fact Nidicolous.
