The Java sparrow is a small, seed-eating finch native to Java and nearby Indonesian islands. It is also called the Java finch or Java rice sparrow.

Estrildidae: Estrildidae is a family of small, mostly seed-eating passerine birds found across the Old World and Australasia. The Java sparrow belongs to this finch family, whose members share many seed-feeding adaptations.
Aviculture: Aviculture is the keeping and breeding of birds in captivity. The Java sparrow has long been bred as a cage bird for its appearance and song.
White-rumped munia: The white-rumped munia is a small estrildid finch native to South and Southeast Asia. Its smaller size and white rump help distinguish it from the Java sparrow.
Wildlife trade: Wildlife trade is the buying, selling, or exchange of wild animals and their products. Capture for the pet market has contributed to declines in some native Java sparrow populations.
Padda oryzivora: Padda oryzivora is the scientific name commonly used for the Java sparrow. This binomial identifies the species in taxonomic and scientific literature.
Birdcage: A birdcage is an enclosure designed to house birds in captivity. Captive Java sparrows require secure housing with room for movement and suitable perches.
Scaly-breasted munia: The scaly-breasted munia is a small Asian finch with dark, scale-like markings on its breast. Its patterned underside contrasts with the Java sparrow’s plain gray breast.
Deforestation in Indonesia: Deforestation in Indonesia is the conversion or loss of forest across the Indonesian archipelago. Habitat loss adds pressure to a species whose native range includes densely settled Java.
Passeriformes: Passeriformes is the bird order containing more than half of all living bird species. The Java sparrow is a perching bird within this exceptionally diverse order.
Invasive species: An invasive species is a non-native organism that spreads and causes ecological or economic harm. Escaped or released Java sparrows have established populations outside their native range.
