The committee raised no doubts regarding species identification. Discussions on the provenance of the individual were raised, and the majority voted that the individual in question was likely a ship-assisted individual based on the following justifications.
PS. The committee is currently undergoing a category revamp, and the decision on ship-assisted species have not been made yet. While currently listed under "Cat E" (escapee), we recognise that ship-assisted birds and recently escaped birds have different provenances. The categories will be updated once the committee guidelines are updated (Updated on 23/7/2022 - see revisions). |
