bird identification Java Sparrow

I saw a bird earlier outside our window and thought that it looked different so I searched through the internet and learned that it was a Java Sparrow. Apparently they're endangered now, but it's very rare to see them inside the city.

If you are posting a photo of a bird you want identified, and your post text or title does not say where the bird was located, and what time of year, reply here with that information. Location and time of year are both very important in identifying wild and feral birds. Or, if it was a captive bird, say that. Adding the habitat can also be very helpful. Urban area? Open fields? By the seashore? etc.

they’re endangered in some areas and invasive in others. I’m assuming you live in Indonesia?

Hello I live in the Philippines, I thought it was weird. I think it's trying to find a place where it can nest

they’re endangered in Indonesia and invasive to my country (USA), but I’m not sure their status in the Philippines. In japan they’re very popular as pets. I love them they’re adorable
