Three baby Java Sparrows (爪哇禾雀), only recently fledged from the nest, huddle together to stay warm, to look out for danger and to search for their parents to bring them food.
Note: These are NOT wild birds. This image was captured in a large outdoor aviary (with acknowledgement to those who oppose any animal / bird that isn’t truly roaming free). Wild birds will be back very soon ….

Java sparrow (Lonchura oryzivora) (aka Java finch) in an aviary of the Reid Park Zoo in Tucson, Arizona. The species is considered endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
De rijstvogel (Padda oryzivora; synoniem: Lonchura oryzivora), soms ook de glatik genoemd, is een zangvogeltje behorend tot de familie van de prachtvinken (Estrildidae).
Hij komt oorspronkelijk alleen voor op Java en Bali. In de vorige eeuw werd de vogel daar nog vaak als een plaag beschouwd voor de rijstbouw. Via uit gevangenschap ontsnapte dieren ontwikkelden zich verwilderde populaties in Sri-Lanka, het schiereiland Malakka, de andere Grote Soenda-eilanden, de Filipijnen, Christmaseiland, Fiji, Mexico, Puerto Rico en de Verenigde Staten.
Rijstvogels waren vóór de jaren 1960 algemeen voorkomende vogels op Java en Bali in een groot aantal landschapstypen zoals dorpen, steden, gebieden met rijstbouw, graslanden, bossavannes en bossen langs kusten zoals mangrove

The Java Sparrow (Padda oryzivora) is a native of Indonesia, particularly Bali and Java. It lives in large flocks of up to 100 birds in both woodland and around rice paddies and rice is its staple diet. It is popular as a pet and has been introduced to other countries including the USA and India but it is declining in numbers due to trapping.
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.

Lonchura oryzivora. Originally found in Indonesia this bird has been introduced elsewhere and has been popular as a caged bird for many years.

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.

This beautiful Java Sparrow was photographed in Lāhainā, Maui, Hawaii, U.S.A. This bird is listed as "ENDANGERED". Very cute and colorful bird that seems to like to hide in the trees.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_sparrow
The Java sparrow is now evaluated as endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species with less than 10,000 individuals remaining.
If you ever get a chance, I suggest visiting Maui, Hawaii. The island is stunningly beautiful and very very clean. The most amazing thing is the Locals on the island. They are all very friendly and proud of their beautiful paradise home.

Java Sparrows (Padda oryzivora) are an invasive species in Hawaii, and they are thriving. However, they have been nearly wiped out in their original range (Java and some other Indonesian islands) - hunted as an agricultural pest, loss of habitat, CITES Red-listed with less than 10,000 individuals remaining. This couple is not worried, happy in their drain pipe home with a whole community park of grass seed to nibble.
