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.
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
