In northwestern Germany, a smart seagull went to the emergency department of a hospital with a fishing rod stuck in its beak. It began pecking at the glass until a staff member noticed it. Police said in a statement that the injured bird kept pecking at the emergency entrance doors in the city of Bremen on Sunday, prompting staff to contact civil defense. Rescue workers arrived and, in what they described as 'excellent cooperation' with the medical team, managed to remove the fishing rod and treat the injury. The bird was later released into the wild inside the hospital grounds. The seagull is a large water bird with shiny black feathers, a long neck, and a sharp, curved beak. The rescue service said the bird's unusual request for help was notable, as seagulls are usually shy and fearful of humans. They confirmed that leaving fishing rods stuck in bird beaks can be extremely dangerous, as it can lead to infections and severe pain, and even starvation if the bird cannot feed normally.
