| It's a bit strange that she has still not finished moulting the primaries, and the greater wingcoverts.
The bill has a longer tip than usual (normal for captive birds, but extremely rarely seen in wild ones).
The approachabilty suggests a past as a falconers bird, maybe for a long time, and after that 9+ years in the wild.
She may simply now show signs of old age.....

Denne usædvanligt tillidsfulde gamle hun har stadig ikke fældet færdigt, og har en lovlig lang næbspids.
En forklaring kunne være at fuglen er tidligere falkonerfugl, som efter måske mange år i fangenskab, og derfter mindst 9 år i naturen, nu er begyndt at vise alderdomstegn..... |
