Seagull Turns Yellow After Falling Into Curry
A seagull turned bright orange after falling into a vat of curry. The bird fell into a container of chicken tikka masala while trying to scavenge a piece of meat from a food factory bin. He was rescued by workers at the factory in South East Wales and picked up by a volunteer for Vale Wildlife hospital. Staff at the centre used washing up liquid to clean the gull's feathers. They managed to return him back to his original white colour but have not been able to wash away the smell.

Matariki
It is the Maori name for the small cluster of stars also known as the seven sisters. Matariki means the eyes of god or little eyes. For many Maori it's the start of a new year. It is a time to remember those who had died in the last year. Maori Celebrate Matariki at different times over the month but usually have a service at dawn.
