Also from what little I’ve been able to find out it seems like it is believed that the parrot originated in Europe and made its way across China to Korea. They live a really long time. But it just seems like it probably came from the south maybe the islands or Australia New Zealand like the cockatoo in the Mantegna painting.

So interesting. yes, they do live a long time and were probably even more attractive for long distance travel for that very reason. Makes you wonder what went through the mind of the person who wrote the ship's manifest! lol!
