Another post from things seen walking around home or work. In this case a pair of Java Sparrows at work and nesting in the roof above the office. I rarely saw Java Sparrows before this year, but now we have half a dozen or more nesting in the roof. Not that I’m complaining. They’re fun birds to watch.

I love the slider….made me smile. Are they introduced or native? Lovely looking birds. Have a finch like beak

They’re native to Indonesia and they are finches, hence the beak. Don’t know why they got the sparrow name.

I thought so. It must have been Mr Magoo who named that poor bird

They are fantastic, Graham. With beaks like that they must do some serious damage to something.

I guess it can be a pest in rice fields. Their diet consists mostly of grains and seeds.

The slider isn’t perfect, but it works pretty well for these two I thought.

As you see them. The two together first and then the other one, which is my favorite.
