The Java sparrow also known as Java finch, Java rice sparrow or Java rice bird, This estrildid finch is a resident breeding bird in Java, Bali and Bawean in Indonesia. It is a popular cage bird, and has been introduced in a large number of other countries. The Java sparrow is about 15–17 cm in length from the beak to its tip of tail feathers. The adult is unmistakable, with its grey upperparts and breast, pink belly, white-cheeked black head, red eye-ring, pink feet and thick red bill.
Both sexes are similar. Immature birds have brown upperparts and pale brown underparts, and a plain head. Very young birds have a black beak with a pink base.
The call is a chip, and the song is a rapid series of call notes chipchipchipchipchipchip.
(pic from Java Man website) - in the 1950s this had been an one-man operation real estate office with his wife running a seamstress buisness alongside him. My Aunt Vera knowing the woman - recall being in there a few times.
We went to Ambarawa Railway Museum, and had a ride on a Thomas the Tank Engine type little steam train, in 3rd-class carriages built in 1911. We chugged through paddy fields, surrounded by clouds of dragonflies, past cloud-wrapped volcanoes.

D. macrophyllum is the most widespread of the section Latouira, extending from the western end of Java and the Philippines to Samoa. It was described by Achille Richard in 1834, which makes it one of the earliest orchids recorded from New Guinea.
Java and his intended mate, Jaya, are still not warming up to each other. They're not giving up though. The last step will be artificial insemination. But first, when she's ready to mate, they're going to knock him out cold, give him his yearly physical and cut about 80 - 90% of his nails down. Then try again. That way, if he tries to swipe at her, he won't be able to hurt her as bad with those claws and she'll still have her claws to defend herself. He's over 100 lbs. bigger then her (she's 200 lbs., he's 300 lbs.)
Last month, at the Topeka zoo, a male Sumatran tiger killed his mate. Such a sad thing. This is no easy task for the breeding programs.
