Got some pics of this wild java sparrow while I was in Maui, he was looking around for nesting material.

What a treat. Its always lovely to see a species in its natural state. Free and curious character.

I agree, absolutely beautiful to see them free in nature.

Wow that is really nice. I owned Javas at one time. It must be wonderful to see them flying free in their "home land".

Thank you for sharing.

Yeah it was great to see them wild, they are really cool. I saw a lot of other neat birds too including Japanese white-eyes which are also very cute. It's too bad that where I live they are prohibited. I would need a license to keep them, and from what I've heard the system they have set up makes it incredibly hard to get a license. I'd probably have better luck getting a falconry license than a license for a little java sparrow.
