Nesting of Java Sparrows

Java Sparrows are known for building a cup-shaped nest of grass and other plant material, which is lined with feathers or other soft materials. The nest is usually located in a secluded area, such as a dense bush or tall grass. Both the male and female take turns to build the nest and they will use their beaks and feet to shape and weave the materials together.

Once the nest is completed, the female will lay 2-6 eggs and both parents will take turns incubating them for about 13-14 days. During this time, the parents will remain in the vicinity of the nest to protect the eggs and chicks from predators.

Once the eggs hatch, both parents will help to feed and care for the chicks. The chicks will fledge at about 18-20 days old. Both parents will continue to feed the chicks for a few weeks after they fledge.

It's important to note that Java Sparrows are not wild birds and are not found in the wild. They are only found as pet birds, and breeding them in captivity requires proper knowledge, care, and facilities. It's important to provide them with a suitable environment and diet, as well as to consult with an avian veterinarian if there are any concerns about their health or breeding.
