The striking plumage of the Java sparrow has resulted in this bird being one of the few globally threatened species which have actually expanded in range (4), as it has been introduced all over the world as a consequence of the cage-bird trade. The Java sparrow has largely pearly-grey plumage, turning pinkish on the belly and white towards the tail. The head is black, which contrasts with the sharply defined white cheeks and large, vivid pink bill. The rump and tail are also black. More

populations of the Java sparrow have suffered disastrous declines. This has been primarily attributed to exploitation for the domestic and international cage-bird trade, which has been occurring for possibly hundreds of years (4).

Unfortunately, the gregarious, flocking nature of the Java sparrow makes it an easy target for bird catchers (4). More
