my sparrow started talking and teleported me to another world
All fun and games until it demands gourmet steaks.
lol, I just started watching this anime...no regrets ;)
live laugh love piichan
I love when they do jumping jacks.
It is very sad that the Java Sparrow is banned in some areas. They're fantastic birds, especially if you make a friend.
Its appearently endangered in its original area (which is also where i live, java), so it gets extra protection. But by this point i assume the international population of this bird is big (because they are popular cage birds), so i dont think the ban isnt that relevant for most places.
Edit: some places ban the java sparrow due to concerns of it being a pest to agriculture, but many places dont ban them.
Proud dad of 3 Java Sparrows and looking for a 4th. They are very friendly and very fun.

That Java bird is beautiful❤️
Aww 🥰 Night shade is so adorable ❤️💯👌🏻
Species spotlight series are always so close to my heart 💕👍🏻😊
Absolute perfection, what a beauty.
You have the magical touch of Saint Francis of Assisi bless you you make it all look so easy I love these creatures so much and you gave me so many ideas for ceiling props ropes and perches . I know you devote a lot of love and time to these marvelous companions . 🐥🐣🐥🐣❤️❤️
Thank you! 😊
I used to have one that was pure white when I was little! I still remember her two signature songs. I missed her so much!
I've watched this video a few times cos I just love this little guy! He has such an amazing wee character and is a real happy little bird. He obviously loves you, probably because you provide him with such a wonderful life. Thanks for all your videos Donna, they're a real pleasure to watch. Love from Linda in Scotland 🏴 x
Gosh, I just realised while I watched your intro all the while your lovely sparrow just sitting so nicely on your hand! So lucky to have them to sit on you and be tame, impossible to have a tame option here sadly. Gorgeous birds x🐦
I you want to tame one you should follow the tutorial from Leporello the Goldfinch they helped me tame my zebras.
Wow…! Never heard about Java Sparrows!!! Beautiful Birdie…!! Look at her 😍 she even started dancing 😮..!!! Thanks a lot for this beautiful Video!!!!!
God bless you and all. Amen 🙏

Yay! Finally a proper video on owning these adorable little loves!
They're adorable! Thank you for all of your information, and tips.
Thank you so much! I’m grateful for your precious insights.
This is such a nice and informative video. I never knew of the Java sparrow until I started watching your channel. You are correct about Javas being banned in Florida; that's where I live and have never seen them in pet stores. But I enjoy seeing Nightshade in your videos; he's so tame and beautiful.
Thank you 😊
Adorable. I love your channel
I really enjoy 😊 there types of videos. Thanks.
As usual a very comprehensive account of the species 🙏 Thank you. Love ❤️ your channel, 100% top rate. 👍
Thank you very much!
I miss these birds. I lived on Oahu for many years and they live in the wild there. Very cute
Great video !
most videos about these birds are in one of the asian languages without subtitles. thank you for your English version. using inches and grams in the same sentence is cute. I can relate to one, but not the other.
Thanks for information
Oh My GOSH I'm so Excited! I was wishing for that species spotlight a while ago and it happened! I wasn't able to watch it when it was uploaded, but now I have finally time to enjoy this! Today is a good day.
I love how much scientific information you share at the beginning. And nightshade is still my absolute favorite of your flock. He's just way too adorable. Compared to my gouldian finches they have so big beaks, their heads are just beak and cheek :)
What's also interesting is that some species like the java or zebra fnch love to cuddle with their flock members, while some are more on the "prude" site like my gouldian finches - even mates don't cuddle or preen each other. It's so sad that your finches didn't clcik with each other. I often heard that females finches can be quite mean, but I didn't think it would be that bad. But it's nice that she finally found her mr. right. And nightshade is really in love with you, so I guess all's well that ends well.
I also heard that some finch species are extremely picky when it comes to finding their mate. The long-tailed finch is known for being very hard to pair up. Even in big flocks they might never choose a partner and if a couple is separated they will never get a new partner and instead get extremely depressed. Some other finch species are more open-minded when it comes to choosing their partner.
For example my male red headed gouldian finch WAS in a "relationship" with another female of his previous flock. But after a couple of months of flirting and being "mates" there was a newcomer and the female just ditched my poor boy. He got really depressed about it, while the female was starting to build a nest with her new man. Their previous owner was really heartbroken about it. Now he's in an all male group with me and seems to be pretty happy, still sad though. My boy was sitting next to the nest of the new couple, waiting for her to come back to him etc.
Also thanks for emphasizing the difference between parrots/parakeets and finches and the importance of wide cages. They can't really climb or use their beaks to hold onto stuff like budgies, they heavily rely on their wings for moving around their aviary and exercising, so perches should be placed like in nightshades cage - at the opposite side of each other, so they can fly from perch a to b easily.
And I completely agree with the enrichment: Shredding toys, swings and hanging greens is the way to go even for other finch species! All of my boys love to sleep on swings, they feel the most secure on them. Another cool enrichment for them is potted grass or a small container with bird safe soil where you just sprinkle seeds over. They love to search for the seeds, pick them and even if the seeds sprout that's just perfect enrichment for them.
There's something especially endearing about finches bathing. Nightshade looks so cute. Thank you so so much for that informative, detailed and of course cute video! :D
That was so informative. Thanks!
I would like it just like your that type of color he is beautiful
I loved my javas I had them for twelve years
Hiya Donna, I just had to stop in the middle of my packing to look at your little lovable nightshade.I always used to see plenty of these little guys, but never knew much a lot them.I never knew that they could be tamed.I guess you have to get a hand fed one from a breeder.I got a kick out of the one in the beginning bouncing up and down on the perch like a little wind up toy.That was a most informative little lecture on the Java Finch with its many names.I wish I had one of those cutiepies.Bye for now!
Is anyone here in the comments located in eastern USA and either is a breeder or know someone who breeds Javas? We're very interested in acquiring some and progressing into breeding them ourself. They are legal where we live, so no worries there.
We're absolutely head-over-heels for these little guys and want to not only experience their company ourself, but also make it easier for others to find these lovely birds. We're currently a canary keeper and will be breeding them as well.
My first 3 birds was 3 adopted javas I love them
Great video!! ☺️❤️
Im from java Indonesia.. i know this bird😍
Proud owner of 6 java finch. Three wild types, one silver, and two whites. Four of them are currently constructing nests in parakeet nest boxes meant for our parakeets not the javas.
Very good video - thanks 😉👏
Thanks for watching!
I'm in the UK and used to breed a variety of finches in cages and in an aviary. In the aviary I bred Zebra finches and Bengalese finches using the small nest boxes appropriate for very small finches. I also had some normal and fawn Java sparrows in there but didn't intend to breed them. However, a pair of fawns took over one of the small nest boxes and they hatched and reared five babies. One day shortly after they hatched I came home from work and found one of the babies on the aviary floor, it appeared to be close to death but I popped it back into the nest box and it survived. Other birds I kept were Budgerigars, Cockatiels and Canaries. I planned to also breed Gouldian finches and bought my first pair, unfortunately my wife decided she no longer wanted to be with me and moved out. Our house was sold and all my birds plus the aviary.
Too bad you had to sell all your birds. Glad the Java baby lived.
Did you keep the javas in with the finches and canaries
@@Dorrzy123 Yes I did Pete.
So sorry. You need to find a person who shares your love for birds 🐦 We shouldn't expect anyone to change for the better but find someone who doesn't need to
@@Dhruv_Dogra Thank you my friend, I'm currently a 77 year old cancer survivor living in a small flat so there will be no more birds for me. I still enjoy seeing the wild birds though, especially in the spring when the migrants arrive. There's a man made lake near to where I live with lots of reed beds. In the spring a good number of Reed Warblers breed there and to a lesser extent Sedge Warblers. Two or three pairs of House Martins nest at the block of flats where I live.
Хороший день для птиц друзья 🌹🐦💕
I loved my 2 Javas, Petal amd Jack. They were boys and both fell in love with my zebra finch girls. Jack got ill towards the end of life and hi zebra girl would always sit with him and preen him. I got a video on my channel with him breaking into her closed cage just to be with her when they were separated. I moved them together.
Beautiful birds 😍
Always loved them 🥺 but they're not available in Bosnia
The really hard to keeping
Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful information
🤗😚 so cute
😍😍😍
Nice haircut looks really nice 😊
Thank you.
cute ❤️❤️❤️
I had one, was very energetic, wouldnt stop moving around and loved to stay on the floor. He wouldnt let me pet him
Thank you for the species spotlight, I have two javas, got both as adults, I was able to tame my male somewhat but my female is not tame at all still sadly, I've had them both for about 4 years and they never have made babies and I've tried almost everything 😅
I love these finches, especially zebra finches makes the cutest sounds
Where you from
These birds have mood swings lol. They are very hyper and can get angry just as fast as they are happy. I wonder why this is...
Can you do a spotlight on green cheeks please! Thank you I love your videos!
Looks a mini puffin a little xd
I got a pair of albino JAVA last month, trying to tame them but couldn't, they're super scared of human and my other birds, their previous owner never tried to handle them so they used to stay on their own. They eat(veggies greens), sing, dance and play. Don't know if i can tame them or not 😔
ماشاء الله ربنا يبارك 💝
Hi its very useful information
Glad you liked it
@@Loveofpets U really done goos work to make this video

Btw do you know where they are frequently found in India Mizoram?
I have one, he's very cute and sings nicely 😊 I'm wondering how you make a java finch tame? Because I got this one from my aunt, but he doesn't like to be touched.
Hi, my Java Finch was hand fed and raised. He was used to people and not afraid
I really want some owl finches, but finches in general are very hard to find in the stores in my area.
you should get another one
I’m looking to buy a Java finch where can I find them
Would you ever consider getting more finches?
Can you keep these in a outside avairy with canaries and finches?
Hey, I was wondering where do you find your cadge my canary needs wider cage, any sites or places recommended?

hi! can you please help me with my java sparrow? i have a white java sparrow (it wasnt mine, someone had it and it was living in poor conditions so this is my attempt to rescue) its only one no clue if it's a male or female. they;ve had the bird for more than 6 months. i seems to be very scared of me and they are caged. never been out of the cage. is there a chance that i can get the bird out of the cage and help it have a better quality of life? if u have any tips i would truly appreciate it. should i get them a friend?
Hi, its best to let him out of the cage. At first he will be disoriented and may not go back in the cage for a while. He will go back in when hungry or thirsty. Place a small piece of spray millet in the cage when you want him to go back in. Also say a word like bedtime or cage time or any word you like so he understands to go back in. This can take a while to get used to a routine. Talk to him and offer food from your hand.
Spend alot of time with him so he can get used to you and trust you.
Hello. Will this bird get along with a Diamond Dove in the same (large) cage?
It's best to keep separate. It's a 50/50 chance they could harm each other.
Hi, I would just like to ask. I have 12 eggs from my budgies it's been 6 months and they are still eggs. Now, I have only 6 left. Is it safe for my birds to remove all the eggs?
6 months is a long time to be laying on eggs, yes remove them.
@@LoveofpetsThank you for your quick response. I already did. However, is it safe for the female to remove all the eggs?
Hi, yes its safe now. Take away any nest boxes or anything that resembles a nest box so that she can rest.
@@Loveofpets and now the female has 3 new eggs again. Is it safe to touch the eggs and check ?
Hi you inspired me to get my own budgies and I’m really happy I got them Iv uploaded them onto my TH-cam channel and would like to ask if you could have a look and give me any recommendations thank you
Can somebody tell me, what happend to two persian kittens she had? Are they alive? On the last video of them 6 years ago, they dont seem healthy, the gray on especially. I am worried, because i love cats so much and my heart breaks for those two kittens.. 😔
Hi. There is nothing wrong with the kitty. I see you made a comment on her purring video. She was sleepy and going to have a nap. She was very healthy.
I had to bring them back to the breeder as one of my dogs had high prey drive and wouldn't stop chasing them. They are fine, trust me.
The video of her purring was a cute video. You are the first to think the worst.
Watch any cat that is happy, content purring and ready for sleep, they look the same 😀
@@Loveofpets Oh i'm soo glad they are ok! I saw one or two peapole commenting "where are the kittens" and i was afraid they got ill and maybe died, because that can happen because of many deseases cats can have. I'm very, very happy to know they are happy and healthy somewhere in the world. Don't take me bad, i love cats so much and i was worried, so i overreacted. I'm sorry! Dogs to dont go well with the cats, that's so familiar to hear, that's in their nature. Wish you the best! 😊❤🙏🏼
No worries. I wanted the best for them and they were running around so fast. My dog is a squirrel chaser and the kitty's were small like a squirrel especially the black one. My dog is more relaxed now as she will be 12 soon. I may get another kitty in the future that is bigger. Thanks for your concern. They were beautiful and it was a hard decision but I had to do what was best for them.
@@Loveofpets I understand, it was so hard for you to give them back, they stick to your heart, and go under the skin... you're right, the bigger cat, i think won't be a problem. Smaller long haired cat, remainded him of the squirrel. You have big heart, God bless you, your loved ones, and your animals. Stay safe! ❤
Java sparows is not a favorite birds pet here in indonesia...magpies robin is one of the best sings birds

Hi, I have never heard of a Dunnock before so I had to look them up. They look like our Sparrows. They are adorable.
It's a 50/50 change that they will get along. It's really hard to say.
Since it's a wild bird you would have to have It's feces tested and or other tests as wild birds can carry many diseases compared to pet birds.
You wouldn't want to pass on a disease to your pet birds.
He must be so adorable!
You named all the names that are used by maybe tiny fraction of some odd people somewhere but not it's main name that is its official name and used by everyone. Java Finch. Never did I meet anyone calling them Java Sparrow. 😂
Padda Oryzivora is no longer it's scientific name... 😁 It's Lonchura Oryzivora.
They sexually mature FAR earlier than 12-16 months. Nothing exceptional to see Javas 7 months old successfully breeding and raising chicks.
Their songs greatly vary, the rattle your male has is extremely rare (his song is actually very limited he probably wasn't exposed to adult singing males for long enough) I have seen only one male out of 300-350 I have seen and listen to in my life with that in his song.
Black headed Java Finch is actually not a mutation. It happens if the birds are not exposed to sunlight enough before and during the moulting period and have insufficient nutrition. Such a bird will go back to normal color if the conditions are right.
Thanks for your input. Around me they are called Java Sparrows. I haven't heard that about the black headed javas. I have seen someone that housed them outside and they had a black head, so it may be a new mutation.
