Chicks of Java Sparrows

 

Chicks of Java Sparrows

Java Sparrow chicks, also known as nestlings, are born with a fluffy, pale gray down, which will eventually be replaced by their adult plumage. Both parents take part in feeding the chicks, and they are fed a diet of regurgitated seeds and other soft foods. The chicks will fledge at around 18-20 days old, at which point they will be able to leave the nest and fly.

Java Sparrow chicks are very active and are able to move around and explore their surroundings from a very young age. They are also very curious and enjoy playing with toys and other objects in their environment. They grow quickly and will be fully feathered and independent at around 4-6 weeks of age.

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.

Also, it's important to keep in mind that adult Java Sparrows have strong territorial behavior and should not be housed together once they reach maturity, as they may become aggressive and start fighting.
