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.
