Scaly-breasted Munia birds

in Feathered Friends15 days ago

Scaly-breasted Munia (Lonchura punctulata), also known as the Spotted Munia or Nutmeg Mannikin

first 5 pics are juveniles. as can be seen it has not developed the scaly breast. plus its beak has not fully form.

i often see them eating seeds, especially grass seeds, but also eats small insects.

This bird has a nice dark beak!

Great photos! The bird's huge beak resembles a hawfinch.

very beautiful, the pose in the last picture is very graceful.
