Doctors couldn’t believe it when they received several calls of people claiming they saw an orange bird having trouble on the side of a highway in Buckinghamshire, England.
But the truth would soon turn out to be a little disappointing.
“One of the weirdest things we’ve ever seen”
When the veterinarians finally got the chance to approach the unusual bird, it was just an ordinary seagull.
The unusual color came from the fact that the bird took a bath inside a curry pot, something the bird’s strong scent gave away.
“This is one of the strangest casualty circumstances we have seen in a while!,” wrote Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital, the place taking care of the bird, on its Facebook page.
The curry sauce made it difficult for the bird to fly properly, so the veterinarians had to give the bird a proper wash.
A full recovery
The doctors named the bird Vinny in honor of the dish it was covered in, Vindaloo curry. The bird strong aroma made it easy to identify the food. But after a good bath, the bird seems to be making a full recovery.
I hope Vinny fixes his eating habits in the future and avoids Indian food.
