Habitat:

Maybe tropical bird, origin unknown...

Notes:

I seen this bird at some Buddhist temple and according to them the bird flew into a ceiling fan and permanately broke his wing so they adopted him, they had him for 6 years..They don't know the name of this bird, it seems the only one ever seen here... I visit the temple a few times and i think the bird must died i dont see him anymore, only a monkey replaced his place in the cage. Name unknown...I tried looking it up with no luck.
