not really... this could have been an aircraft that required servicing (simple A check or fix a cracked windshield or bird hit) then the lease negotiations may have started and a reason to keep the bird grounded may have been found, reducing the need to pay the lease. It looks like some measures where taken to store it (note the wrapped landing gear) and now the engines are being used for spares. The nose is still on just taped over with the silver tape used to fix minor issues till the next inspection. It may very well have been a bird hit.
