A Seagull With a Sense of Adventure.

Who can resist a curry?  Seems that a hungry seagull couldn't, and fell into a vat of chicken tikka masala, outside a factory in Wales in the U.K.  The uninjured bird was taken to Vale Wildlife Rescue where it was cleaned (a lot !) and fed, as it was a little skinny.   Apparently he's now nice and clean, thanks to some hard work from the staff at the Wildlife Hospital, but he still smells ... well ... delicious!  Ms Kells explained that the gull would normally have been able to take off if it had landed on water, but the curry was to thick for him to escape.  Luckily someone found him struggling to get out of the vat, otherwise he would have drowned.After his colourful photo was posted to Facebook, some interesting names were suggested for the poor guy.  Instant Korma?  Vindagull?  Seaspice?  One person on Facebook said "Good job he's not a Kormarant."  Groan!!  They settled on Gullfrazie.Staff have been feeding him pieces of meat to build up his strength, and he will be released as soon as its feathers have recovered their natural oils.I guess you have to know your curries to get the jokes, and most people in the U.K. will understand, as Chicken Tikka Masala is now the most popular dish in the country.
