Feb. 18 (UPI) -- A bird with a hook stuck in its beak sought medical attention by pecking at the window of a German hospital's emergency room.

Cihat Cirit, a registered nurse at the emergency department of the Klinikum Links der Weser hospital, said the injured cormorant made its need for assistance known Sunday by pecking at the window.

"I've never experienced anything like this in my 15 years of professional experience," Cirit said in a post on Health North - Bremen's Post Clinic Network's Facebook page. "But then a colleague came to me and said, 'Hey, there's a bird pecking at the window.'"
