I recently spent a week in Hawaii. Birding wasn't my focus, but I did see LOTS of birds as I toured parks and gardens near Honolulu.

This Java Sparrow was another species I saw most often foraging in the grass. And like the Chestnut Munias and Common Waxbills, I usually saw them in groups of a half-dozen or more.

NOTE: If you'd like to see more birds and flora from Hawaii, I've created a dedicated album that contains several photos not in my Photostream.

The Java Sparrow, also known as Java Finch, Java Rice Sparrow or Java Rice Bird is a small finch that typically breed in Java, Bali and Bawean in Indonesia. It is a popular cagebird, 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.

This one I came across on a fence railing eating what I suspect was a grape. He/She chirped at me several times and then went about it's business eating.

Java

You are my morning coffee

My java

My caffeine

And my wake-up call

Each morning

And each day

You wake me with kisses

Change my night dreams

To day dreams

Smile like a sun rising

And give me a thousand reasons

To rise and shine

You are my café au lai

My cappuccino

Hot stuff

Jamocha

Joe

Full of punch

Soft with the touches

And tender like the night

You perk me up

Pick me up

And make my day

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 into many other countries. Some taxonomists place this and the Timor sparrow in their own genus Padda.
