People Rescue ‘Exotic’ Bird That Couldn’t Fly, Turns Out It’s A Seagull Covered In Curry

A Wildlife Hospital in the U.K. recently received a unique ‘guest’ – a flamboyant-looking bird that caught the attention of some kind-hearted individuals. Found stranded by the roadside and unable to fly, the bright orange bird appeared to be of tropical origin, prompting the concerned citizens to take it to the Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital for medical attention. However, it was later discovered that the seemingly exotic bird was in fact a common seagull that had managed to cover itself entirely in curry.

Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital took to their Facebook page to share the story of a rescued herring gull that had caught the attention of some compassionate passersby. The kind-hearted individuals had noticed the bright-orange bird stranded at the side of the A41 and immediately took action to help. When the hospital received the call about an “orange bird,” they had no idea what to expect and were surprised to find the unique-looking herring gull in their care.
