White Java Sparrow Aviary - June 2023 - Birds Love Vegetables

Java sparrow or Padda oryzivora is a small, 15 cm long, song-like bird from the Estrildidae tribe. The Javanese sparrow has a black head, white cheeks and a large red beak. Adults have gray plumage, reddish-brown belly, pink legs and red circles around their eyes. Male and female birds are similar. Young birds are brown. Even though until 2023 there are now many different colors of Java sparrows, as in this video, these are all white java sparrows. And as far as I know, there are several java sparrows that have pastel colors. But all that between white, black and brown only. There is no (or maybe not yet) found java sparrow that has a red, yellow, blue or other color.

This bird is endemic to Indonesia and is found in nature in grassland forests, rice fields and cultivated lands on the islands of Java and Bali. Today, this species is recognized in many countries around the world as a pet bird. I often know that Japanese people actually like this bird as a pet.

in the wild the behavior of these birds likes to flock and quickly move around. The main food for this bird is grain or rice, as well as other grains, fruit and insects. As seen in this video, java sparrows (in Indonesia) can also eat fresh vegetables, here we often serve them fresh sprouts, lettuce, raw sweet corn and mustard greens. Sometimes we also serve other vegetables.
