The Java sparrow (Lonchura oryzivora), also known as Java finch, Java rice sparrow or Java rice bird, is a small passerine bird.[2] 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. Some taxonomists place this and the Timor sparrow in their own genus Padda. The Java sparrow is about 15 to 17 cm (5.9 to 6.7 in) in length from the beak to its tip of tail feathers. Although only about the size of a house sparrow, it may be the largest species in the estrildid family. 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.
Molecular phylogeny indicates that this species may have originated in India and dispersed to Africa and Pacific Ocean habitats from there.

The best coffee shop in Michigan's Upper Peninsula - Java Joe's in St. Ignace. Joe and Sandy are super nice people and the coffee and food are excellent.
The Java leg of our trip. Started from Jakarta to Yogyakarta by train, to Mt. Bromo and from there to Surabaya
After an overnight soak, water is added and the coffee is agitated to remove the mucilage (hence the dirty looking water). Java Sunda project, in the mountains near Bandung, Java. Java
