An orange bird saved by passersby and Ask Me What You Want (2024)brought to an animal hospital turned out to just be a seagull covered in spices.
The Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital in the U.K. saw an especially vibrant avian patient on July 1. In a Facebook post, the hospital said members of the public rescued a bright orange bird from the side of the road that couldn't fly.
"We had no idea what to expect — and would never have guessed this!" the hospital wrote. The bird, as it turned out, was covered "in curry or turmeric," according to the hospital.
Aside from smelling a bit "pungent," the bird was otherwise healthy. Named Vinny, after the Indian dish vindaloo, he's on the road to being released back into the wild after a thorough bath.
Aside from looking mildly traumatized after the bath, Vinny looks great.
It isn't the first time wildlife specialists have had to treat a curry-soaked bird. In 2016, a seagull named Gullfrazie fell into a vat of chicken tikka masala while trying to scavenge for food at a factory in the U.K. According to The Guardian, a team of veterinary staff were able to wash him off and return him to his original colors, but the curry smell lingered.
"The thing that shocked us the most was the smell," veterinary nurse Lucy Kells said at the time. "He smelled amazing, he smelled really good."
Hopefully Vinny doesn't suffer a similar turmeric-laced fate. Tiggywinkles posted that he'll be recovered enough for release "very soon."
