The Java Sparrow, also known as the Java Finch is a native bird of Java and Bali in Indonesia.

They are sought after as pet birds for their distinctive song and beautiful appearance.
Trapping for the illegal exotic cage-bird trade industry has made the attractive little bird a critically endangered species with less than 10,000 remaining.
It was introduced to O’ahu in the 1960’s and has proliferated and spread naturally to the other main islands.
