TRAVELLING the world can be heaven for birdwatchers, with so many bright and unusual looking feathered friends inhabiting every corner of our amazing globe.

But perhaps one place you wouldn’t expect to discover an exotic new species is on the well-trodden roads of Haddenham in the United Kingdom, where recently locals thought they had made a major avian discovery.

On the side of the A41 road near the motorway, a passerby spotted a fluorescent orange bird that looked somewhat like a rare breed of seagull.

The bird, which was unable to fly, was taken to a nearby hospital for assessment, where it was discovered he was nothing more than a generic seagull covered in vindaloo.

It seems this fella with the Trump tan pictured below had simply got too enthusiastic with the curry scraps he had discovered, with hospital staff bathing him clean and fittingly calling him Vinny after his culinary misadventure.
