Whoops! I sure have noticed the location...sorry
No, ceherzog, I don't because this bird is in captivity. As mentioned, it lives in the Birds' Park Avifauna, the Netherlands. I cannot penetrate into the cage to read the inscriptions on the rings. It would not be useful either, I guess.
I see the bird is banded...do you report the sightings?
Wonderful,
