PIC: Seagull turns orange after falling into a vat of chicken tikka masala

Carl Kinsella

Ireland has what could be described as, at best, a love/hate relationship with its seagulls – and the scales are tipped rather firmly firmly in the direction of hate.

Nevertheless, we can’t help but feel a few pangs of pity for Gullfrazie (he’s picked up this nickname since the accident) – an unfortunate seagull who has turned orange after falling into a vat of chicken tikka masala.

The seagull, from Gloucestershire in England, was being his typical seagull self and trying to scavenge some meat when it ended up getting Tango’d.

Luckily, the good people at the Vale Wildlife Hospital were able to restore Gullfrazie his original colour – but they weren’t able to get rid of the curry smell.

Photos of the poor thing emerged on Facebook:
