Skeptic7 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Interesting, but not the first time this species recorded here! Birds way out of normal ranges are not all that uncommon, really. Storms, fronts, cyclones of all types can certainly be an understandable contributing factors. Sometimes it's just faulty navigational skills. Regardless, very cool! Hope the bird recovers and is able to recalibrate it's compass and get back to more familiar territory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpspike Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 More likely it escaped from a small private zoo as a result of the storm. I have seen such private zoos all over Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
