Actually, maybe he WAS a pet bird. Or at least a baby bird that was raised by a human, then released.
I raised a baby starling once, and tried to release him. He was having none of that. He wanted back in the house. He would hang on the screen door and try to pry the screen apart with his beak. He would peck on windows. He would land on my head if I went in the yard, and hold on to my hair. It was pitiful. I finally gave up and let him back in the house, where he lived in the living room for many years.

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
