Bird turns orange after falling into container of curry

The seagull was simply looking for a snack. Instead, he got a dye job that would do Donald Trump proud.

The seagull was checking out the trash bin outside a food factory in Wales when he fell into a container of chicken tikka masala, reports the BBC.

The curry sauce in the dish turned the bird bright orange.

Fortunately, staff at the non-profit Vale Wildlife Hospital near Tewkesbury, England were able to give the bird a bath in dishwashing liquid, which brought the bird back to its original white color.

However, the workers couldn’t wash away the smell.

Lucy Kells, a veterinary nurse at the hospital in Worcestershire, posted on Facebook, "The thing that shocked us the most was the smell. He smelled amazing, he really smelled good."
