Supermodel Christie Brinkley Goes to Hospital After Incident With a Bird

— -- Supermodel Christie Brinkley was vacationing in Parrot Cay in the Turks and Caicos Islands when she decided she needed to save a bird. Things didn't go as planned.

"We interrupt this holiday to take a little unplanned excursion to Miami for cat scans and stitches following an accident trying to save a bird," she wrote on Instagram. "My grateful heartfelt thanks go out to our wonderful Parrot Cay Family who got me to the boat and plane, and my friends in Miami who found my A Team at University of Miami Hospital led by Dr Askari and his professional caring and adorable team and to my bestie @artminster who spent her much needed and deserved holiday by my bedside."

She continued with a joke, "I ca't [sic] possibly thank you enough and I offer you a pain check .. I mean rain check! Lol!"

Brinkley, 61, also shared a close-up of her stitches and a shot from her hospital bed.

The accident didn't slow her down one bit, though.

"I'm back in Parrot Cay and is it my imagination ( or the bump on my head ? ) that has me seeing the clouds as B A E ??(before anything Else) which is reserved for very special sweet people like all of you who wrote such kind well wishes...I think this sunset is for all of Y O U! Thank you BAE!" she wrote just a few hours after her accident post.
