Lonchura leucogastra

The Javan Munia, also known as the White-bellied Munia, is a small passerine bird native to Java, Indonesia. It is characterized by its distinctive white belly and chestnut-brown upperparts. This species is often found in open grasslands, rice fields, and agricultural areas where it forages for seeds and small insects. The Javan Munia is a social bird, often seen in flocks, and is known for its melodious, twittering song. While its population is currently stable, habitat loss and trapping for the pet trade pose potential threats to its future survival.
