Java Sparrow (Padda oryzivora), also known as the Java Finch, Java Rice Sparrow, or Java Rice Bird.
Appearance: They are small, about 15-17cm long, with a distinctive gray body, a black head, white cheeks, a thick red bill, and pink feet.
Native Range: Java Sparrows are native to Java, Bali, and Bawean in Indonesia, but they are also popular cage birds and have been introduced to many other countries.
Diet: In the wild, they primarily feed on rice and other seeds.
Social Behavior: They are known for their social monogamy, characterized by mutual courtship and long-lasting pair bonds.
Mating Indicator: Research suggests that in pair-bonded Java Sparrows, the enlargement of their eye rings can signify their readiness to mate.

On est si petit, le monde est si grand
Que serait la vie sans notre maman?
Elle sait d'un mot redonner confiance
Et faire oublier nos chagrins d'enfant.
Refrain
Ma maman est une maman
Comme toutes les mamans
Mais voilà c'est la mienne
Et pour moi qui peut sous mon toit
Apporter la joie?
Voyez-vous, c'est la mienne
Un regard suffit entre nous
Pour deviner notre pensée
Alors je la prends par le cou
Et je la couvre de baisers
Ma maman est une maman
Comme toutes les mamans
Mais voilà c'est la mienne.

* The place smelled like dog and I found a flea on me. Needless to say, if all of the hotel rooms weren't booked, I would have skedaddled sooner.
Daybreak and the the veils of mist are still heavy over the jungle-filled plain on central Java. The sun has not yet reached the horizon but the sounds of the forest are increasing. The mist has started to take a little of the orange color forming in the sky before sunrise.

You should really watch this Large On Black since that brings out more details. My pictures aren't balanced for a white background and a lot of the finer details are lost in this small format. the large version is a sixth of the original - The medium size shown here even smaller...
