An injured seabird sought help by pecking at the door of an emergency department at a hospital in Germany until medical staff noticed it and called firefighters to help with its rescue.

The cormorant had a triple fishing hook stuck in its beak when it made its presence known at the glass door of the Klinikum Links der Weser hospital in the northern city of Bremen on Sunday.
