Opie Kumis is one of the celebrities whose hobby is keeping birds.
This Betawi comedian admits that he has 12 birds that he cares for at home.
Asked about the reason for keeping birds, this 63 year old man frankly admitted that he wanted to cover up his wife’s nagging.
According to Opie, hearing the sound of birds makes his heart more peaceful and happy.
“I keep the birds just to cover up my wife’s nagging. So when we hear the bird’s voice there is peace in our hearts,” said Opie Kumis when met at the Trans TV Studio, Tendean, South Newsdelivers.com, Friday (22/9).
Raising various birds in recent years, Opie also has his own unique story.
One interesting story is when Opie lost the magpie bird he had been caring for. Before it disappeared, people were haggling the bird for IDR 40 million.
“At that time there were birds that cost up to Rp. 40 million. But they didn’t buy that much, if I’m not mistaken, it was Rp. 3 million. My son took care of them and took part in a contest. In the end, someone bid Rp. 40 million,” he said.
“There’s a myth. I told my son that if there’s a bird that you’re selling, you don’t need to be affectionate. As soon as he doesn’t sell it, the bird will escape and disappear,” continued Opie.
He also tried to be sincere about the loss of his expensive bird. Rp. 40 million may not be his fortune.
“Well, let’s just be sincere, it’s not our fortune,” he said.
