This bird sppears to show damaged claws, two ages of outer tail feather (or a missing outer tail feather) and soiled/damaged underparts.  If so, this would be highly indicative of it being an escape.

These subsequent shots in fact show that all the claws are intact (if you look at the second photo the claws on the left foot look damaged) and that there is no damage to the tail (again on the second photo the two outer most tail feathers appear different).  Having seen these additional photos I do not think there is evidence of cage damage.

Please submit these photos in large format for the HK Photoguide.  Thank you.
