Escaped pets with no established population

Some overlap with the discussion at https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/are-reintroduced-animals-wild/6334/9

As noted there, I think of escaped or released captive birds as free rather than wild, mainly because they often have lower survival rates than birds bred in the wild. So I make a distinction because they’re not necessarily equivalent ecologically. But there are a lot of differing opinions on this topic!
