Anyone know the provenance of this scarlet-headed blackbird which is in  storage with  North East Lincolnshire Council? There is no documentary to reveal its background or who supplied it. More likely to be an aviary bird, but, alternatively, could it have flown here as a wilding from  South America, then been trapped?
