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

Vinny, the herring gull that was rescued and brought to the Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital, was given a much-needed bath by the veterinary team. The bird had been covered in curry, which had made his feathers sticky and difficult to clean. Despite initially protesting the cleaning process, Vinny eventually allowed the team to wash him thoroughly. In fact, the bird looked quite handsome after his bath, although he did seem slightly irritated with the entire ordeal. The veterinary team even named him Vinny, after the spicy Vindaloo curry that he was covered in.

“He is now looking much better and should be able to go for release very soon”
