Java Sparrows

Java Sparrows (also called Java Finches or Java Rice birds) are calm, sociable finches that do best in small flocks. They come in several colour varieties, including fawn, silver, white, and grey.

Java sparrow care

  • A flock or aviary setting rather than a solitary cage
  • Good ventilation and stable temperature
  • A seed-based diet supplemented with greens
  • Clean water and regular bathing opportunities
  • Low-stress, calm surroundings
  • Careful monitoring of health and condition

Java Sparrows are naturally flock birds and tend to do poorly when kept alone — they're happiest with company of their own kind.
