Technicallyh this bir is wild in that it can come and go as it pleases.  I
think it was an escaped or released pet.  Its plumage, wattles and voice are
a different 'dialect' than the birds I ordinarily see here,  It's wing and
tail feathers are also rather ragged, which is common in birds kept in a
cage.  Add to this the fact that minimum focus distance was an issue, and I
had to shoo it away with my hands and legs while changing film; I have to
conclude it's not as wild as it appears.
