A seagull just got its 15 minutes of fame after soaking itself in a waste tub of curry and turned itself orange.
The seagull was scavenging a waste tub of curry outside a food processing plant on Monday. But when it tried to nab a piece of meat from the vat, the seabird slipped and fell into the tub, drenching itself in thick tikka masala sauce.
Vale Wildlife Hospital picked up the bird down the road in Gloucestershire, England. The staff scrubbed the bird with washing-up liquid to remove the bright orange coloring from its feathers and are now feeding it up with pieces of dog food and fish.
Unfortunately, even though the gull is back to its white and gray self after a long wash of detergent, the veterinarians weren't able to get rid of that aromatic smell. Over the next few weeks, the bird will spend time in an outdoor aviary to get back its waterproofing sheen.
For the meantime, the bird who is now named "Gullfrezi" is enjoying its 15 minutes of social media stardom with dozens of terrible curry puns.
