Javan Munia
Lonchura leucogastroides
The adult Javan Munia is a small finch of open grassland, farmland, rice paddies, and village gardens in Java, Bali, and nearby areas. It feeds mainly on grass and crop seeds, clinging to stems or foraging on the ground with quick, precise movements. Adults fly in low, agile bursts between cover and weave rounded nests from grass. Its strong seed-cracking bill lets it exploit cultivated landscapes, where it is often seen around ripening grain.
