Staff at Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital in Aylesbury, southern England, were called out to rescue an exotic looking bright orange bird from the side of the busy A41 road. On washing it, they realized it was actually just a seagull covered in turmeric and curry sauce.

The bird, who the rescuers named "Vinny" (after vindaloo), was otherwise unharmed and was released after his bath.


In 2016 in Wales another seagull had to be rescued after It fell into a vat of chicken tikka masala.
