From Wikipedia: The Java sparrow (Lonchura oryzivora), also known as Java finch, Java rice sparrow or Java rice bird.
Ko Olina, O'ahu, Hawaii
The Java sparrow (Padda oryzivora), also known as Java finch, Java rice sparrow or Java rice bird, is a small passerine 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 into many 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. The Java sparrow is a very gregarious bird which feeds mainly on grain and other seeds. It frequents open grassland and cultivation, and was formerly a pest in rice fields, hence its scientific name. The nest is constructed in a tree or building, and up to eight eggs are laid. 57889
Feed me next please, I’m starving !
Three baby Java Sparrows, only recently fledged from the nest, wait patiently in-line to be fed by one of their parents.
Actually, the sentence above is a complete lie …. :)
The three fledglings were in fact desperately scrambling over one another in order to be fed first by their parents.
This was simply a case of right time, right moment, lucky capture …. giving a false impression the three fledglings were actually queuing in an orderly manner !
NOTE: These are not wild birds; this image was captured in a large outdoor aviary.
Thank you for your interest, views, faves, comments and awards ! This image was captured in Hong Kong 香港. (Best viewed on a larger screen.)

Other Names: Java finch, Java rice sparrow, Java rice bird
Java Sparrows are large, full-bodied finches measuring over 5 ½ inches long. They were first introduced to Hawaiʻi in the 1960s on Oʻahu and they spread to the other main Hawaiian Islands quickly thereafter. They feed primarily on seeds and insects. Their head, chin, rear, and tail are black while their nack, wings, and chest are a bluish grey and the cheeks are white. The beak, legs, and eye ring are pink to red in color. hawaiibirdingtrails.hawaii.gov/bird/java-sparrow/#:~:text...

In Ka'anapali, not far from the resorts, is a small pond with a little water falls. On hot days, birds often visit for a cool drink or a refreshing bath. Having finished its drink, a Java finch looked at me over its shoulder and took off. That's when I took this shot. :) The shot was taken in March 2015, with my trusty Olympus digital camera. Enjoy.
Or "Kissy Birds," as my granddaughter called them--they seemed to like "kissing" when up in the trees. This little finch is related to the Munia. It is endangered in its native Southeast Asia.
Distribution and population
Padda oryzivora is a native endemic of the islands of Java, Bali, and probably Madura, Indonesia, although it has been widely introduced, with feral populations now established in many parts of the world. It was formerly widespread and abundant in its native range, but numbers have crashed disastrously. It can now be difficult to find, particularly on Java (N. Brickle in litt. 2012); a recent survey looked at 64 former locations and located only 109 individuals at 17 sites (Muchtar and Nurwatha 2001). The majority of documented recent records derive from east Java and Bali. Feral populations (in Indonesia at least) have also apparently declined precipitously. Information from elsewhere is insufficient to estimate its status as a feral species, and all conservation efforts should focus on its original native range. For more info on the Java Sparrow

The Java sparrow, also known as Java finch, Java rice sparrow or Java rice bird, is a small passerine bird. This estrildid finch is a resident breeding bird in Java, Bali and Bawean in Indonesia.
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 is a rare catch since it is considered on the endangered species. Again another lucky day in Australia wilderness.

Maui is a wonderful place for romance. I was lucky to catch these Java sparrows at this tender moment. This is the first of a series of shots featuring Java sparrows in, under, and near a particular tree north of Black Rock. Other shots are provided below. The Java sparrow is a common bird in much of lowland parts of the island and one of my favourites. I love their distinctive colouring and antics. All of the birds in this series were photographed in full or partial shade. The photo was taken in February 2016, with my trusty Olympus digital camera. Enjoy.

This is the next shot in my Java sparrow series. I took this photo a couple of seconds after it took flight. As I mentioned earlier, I came across a large number of them clustered around a tree, so I had the opportunity to take quite a few shots from different angles of birds flying about. The photo was taken in February 2016, with my trusty Olympus digital camera. Enjoy.
P.S. Aside from a few pepper plant seedlings, I am nearly finished planting my vegetable garden. I hope to be catching up soon. Thanks for your patience.
This is the second shot in my Java sparrow series. For more information about location and conditions, see my description of the first shot! I took this shot shortly after takeoff. The light was very weak and filtered, but interesting as well. The photo was taken in February 2016, with my trusty Olympus digital camera. Enjoy.

This is a photo of a Java sparrow. It is also know as Java finch, Java rice bird, and Java rice sparrow. The bird is native to Java, Bali, and Indonesia, though large populations can be found on many Pacific islands. I often photograph them on Maui, where they are fairly common. However, you normally do not see many shots posted on Flickr. Recently, several Java sparrows have been added to the Bloedel aviary, where I took this shot. As usual, the light was fairly weak in the aviay, though I did manage to catch one ray of sunlight. The photo was taken in January 2013, with my trusty Olympus digital camera. Enjoy.
The Java Sparrow (Java Finch) is eating his dinner in Bloedel Conservatory of Queen Elizabeth Park in Vancouver, BC Canada.

Calafate (ave)
Origem do texto: Wikipédia, a enciclopédia livre.
O Calafate (Padda oryzivora ou Lonchura oryzivora) é um pássaro proveniente das ilhas de Bali, Java e Bawean, na Indonésia. Os nomes mais vulgares desta ave em inglês são Java Rice Finch e Rice Sparow'.
Foram introduzidos por marinheiros e viajantes em outros locais como Bornéu, China, Japão, Ilhas Fiji, Malásia e Filipinas. Por se alimentarem de arroz e aveia, prejudicavam as produções agrícolas e eram por isso exterminados aos milhares.
O nome do pássaro vem de calafetar, actividade realizada pelos operários da construção naval que preenchem as frestas dos barcos com estopa e betume, fechando-as bem. O Calafate constrói seu ninho de forma semelhante, que possui formato de bola, bem vedado e com uma única abertura.
Possuem diversas variações de cores e penas sedosas. São ativos e curiosos e na natureza vivem em bandos. Sua coloração original é a cabeça preta e branca, com o restante do corpo em dois tons de cinza. Com os cruzamentos selecionados encontramos uma grande variedade de cores, incluindo pássaros inteiramente brancos. Podem chegar aos 15 cm de comprimento.

Description:
The Java Sparrow is 17 cm in length. 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, but immature birds have brown upperparts and paler brown underparts and cheeks. The rest of their head is dark grey rather than black, and the bill is grey with a pink base.
The call is a chip, and the song is a rapid series of call notes chipchipchipchipchipchip.
Habitat:
The Java Sparrow is a very gregarious bird which feeds mainly on grain and other seeds. It frequents open grassland and cultivation, and was formerly a pest in rice fields, hence its scientific name. The nest is constructed in a tree or building, and up to eight eggs are laid.
Threats:
The Java sparrow is considered to be a serious agricultural pest of rice. Due to ongoing habitat loss and hunting in some areas, the Java Sparrow is now uncommon in its native range. It is evaluated as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species and is listed on Appendix II of CITES.
Introductions:
The Java Sparrow was introduced in the Indian subcontinent,[citation needed] but it failed to become a successful resident on the Indian mainland although it has established a breeding population around Colombo, Sri Lanka. In the United States there a breeding population on several of the Hawaiian Islands, especially Oahu.
Aviculture:
The Java sparrow has been a popular cage bird in Asia for centuries, first in China and then in Japan, frequently appearing in Japanese paintings and prints. Meiji-era writer Natsume Soseki wrote an essay about his pet Java sparrow. In the late 1960s and early 1970s the Java sparrow was one of the most popular cage birds in the United States until its import was banned. Today it remains illegal to possess in California because of a perceived threat to agriculture, although rice-dependent Asian countries like China, Taiwan and Japan have not regulated the bird.
In Asia the Java sparrow is most often raised almost from birth by human breeders and owners, and they become very tame and attached to humans. As such, they can be normally kept in relatively small cages, but let out for indoor exercise without their attempting to escape. In captivity, a variety of colorations have been bred, including white, silver/opal, fawn/isabel, pastel, cream and agate (which currently is rare within Europe captive specimens) along with the pied Java Sparrow (called the "sakura buncho" in Japan).
Here is another shot from my Java sparrow series. Even when the Java sparrow feels peevish, it seems to smile and carry a glint in its eye. Such is true with this charming bird who agreed to pose for me in just the right position. :) The photo was taken in February 2016, with my trusty Olympus digital camera. Enjoy.
This sparrow is not rare but a bird shot from me is a rare commodity. Except for captive ones, I'm like a scarecrow to birds.

We returned from the big island of Hawaii last Friday, timing it perfectly. There were no cases of Covid-19 on the big island while we were there and our home town had only one presumptive as we returned.
This estrildid finch is a resident breeding bird in Java, Bali and Bawean in Indonesia and was introduced to Hawai'i. It is also known as Java finch, Java rice sparrow or Java rice bird.
It was found around our apartment in Kona.
The Java sparrow is considered by a number of countries to be an agricultural pest with respect to rice cultivation. An ongoing loss of natural habitat, hunting in some areas and trapping (as a pest) in others has led to much smaller numbers in the wild and sightings in its natural range have become increasingly uncommon. The Java sparrow is evaluated as endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (uplisted from vulnerable in 2018). The species is also severely threatened by the illegal exotic pet trade.
Today it remains illegal to possess in California because of a perceived threat to agriculture, although rice-dependent Asian countries like China, Taiwan and Japan have not regulated the bird.
Lonchura is a genus of the estrildid finch family, and includes munias (or minias), mannikins, and silverbills.

A really interesting bird - it looks at you at ALL angles as it eats.
Most likely a survival instinct!?

When I was a child, I had grown one this kind of bird. But it was killed by a wild cat at last. And from that time I had never grown another again. This is really a lovely bird. The reference photo is here:"http://album.blog.yam.com/show.php?a=momigi&f=844234&i=28050651"( Brushes app, on iPad4. )
當我還是個孩子的時候，我曾經養過一隻這種白文鳥。不過，後來牠被一隻野貓給殺了。從那時開始，我沒有再養任何小鳥。這種鳥真的很可愛！我參考的圖片在這裡："http://album.blog.yam.com/show.php?a=momigi&f=844234&i=28050651" ( Brushes app, 在iPad4 畫)
