Java Sparrow

The attractive Java Sparrows (爪哇禾雀) , with its immaculate grey, white and black plumage, have been a favourite caged bird and used as a fortune-telling bird. The adult can easily be recognized, with its grey upperparts and breast, pink belly, white-cheeked black head, red eye-ring, pink feet and thick red bill. They are highly socialized, forging for food in groups. 

The Edward Youde Aviary of Hong Kong Park, after a recent renovation, reopens in early February this year.  As it is still a Public Holiday in Hong Kong, many people come here for a glimpse of the lovely birds.

Below are some pictures I took this morning inside the Aviary.
