Hi

Just wanted to let those who keep and breed Java sparrow the world over about my website focusing especially on my favourite species.

Please got to Just Javas - The Java Sparrow Zone! to check out my website.

Any suggestions on improvments are always welcomed, I want to make it the onyl place to visit to learn about the wonderful bird that is the Java!

Thanks

Good going javasteve. Nice to see a website dedicated to javas. Not many people keep them on this forum, not sure why, but I really enjoy my pair.

I think one reason you don't see them as much in the USA is that they are illegal to keep in some states. They are regarded as a pest to agriculture in those states, and government worries about Javas escaping or being turned loose and then becoming a problem. I have not checked on whether they are allowed in Texas, but Texas has a huge rice-growing area around Houston, so they might not be. Everything I read about them is very appealing, though, so maybe someday...

Nice website. I saw some javas today in a local store. The "normal" type remind me of puffins, which are my favourite birds. Cute!

Sally there is a lady in Rio Vista that sells them. Had thought about getting some but I'm good with the birds I have.
