Is the animal living in the wild but part of an unestablished population. This is a term that is used by many US Birders for non-countable exotic species that may be found. Most parrots, and imported geese are good examples.

Saw some defensive behavior between them and nearby sunfish. The pair here stuck together and lazily swam around the same area. In spite of their coloration, I dont think these are goldfish or carp, based off the body shape.

UPDATE: Marking as wild since I read you can mark escaped pets as wild on forums.

An escape most likely, but a nice unexpected one.
They're not known for their vagrancy potential, yet Alaska - Russia - Japanese East coast doesn't seem that odd for a soarer like this*. There are some previous records in the area and Kyushu from earlier this year. Making a possible autumn migration left-over an option (if it was not considered 'escape' or ship-assisted)
Not being familiar enough with the bird of prey options in Japan, I was stunned at first to see this bird in a skirmish with a kite over some prey-item.

*Apparently they're really only soaring migrants, so open 'cold' bodies of water may be difficult obstacles for them.

edit: February 2024: I only now see the records in the same area in April/May on ebird.
