Rare (Bird Shot)

This sparrow is not rare but a bird shot from me is a rare commodity. Except for captive ones, I'm like a scarecrow to birds.

 

Padda Oryzivora, also known as Java Finch or Java Rice Bird is a popular cagebird.

 

The adults have grey upper parts and breast, pink belly, white-cheeked black head, red eye-ring, pink feet and thick red bill. The call is a chip, and the song is a rapid series of call notes chipchipchipchipchipchip.........Wikipedia
