Has anybody found anything out about the location?

Unless my very limited Chinese was letting me down would I be right in believing it was said to have been in the Tai Po area, with a question as to whether it was at Fung Yuen? (Haven't used dictionary to check so forgive me if this is all COMPLETELY wrong!)

The photos seem to show a large patch of feathers missing from the flank, which would suggest a captive origin for this bird.
