EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this hilarious snapshot, we witness the remarkable transformation of a once-oiled guillemot into a dapper and squeaky-clean seabird. At the RSPCA rescue centre in Somerset, UK, this lucky feathered friend found itself covered in polyisobutene (PIB) - but fear not! The dedicated team at the centre swiftly came to its aid. With feathers slicked back like it just stepped out of a high-end salon, our oiled guillemot is being pampered with utmost care. Picture tiny bird-sized towels and bubble baths as these wildlife heroes work their magic. It's quite an unusual sight! As they gently wash away every last trace of pollution from its delicate plumage, you can almost hear the guillemot sighing with relief. This avian spa day isn't just about looking good; it's essential for its well-being too. The United Kingdom may be known for its tea-drinking habits, but here at RSPCA rescue centre, they're all about serving up some much-needed TLC to our feathered friends. With each stroke of their skilled hands and every drop of soapy water that cascades down those oily feathers, hope is restored for this injured sea bird. So let's raise our imaginary glasses filled with sparkling water (no oil spills allowed!) and toast to the incredible rehabilitation efforts taking place
