Chestnut Munia

A small, sturdy estrildid finch with rich chestnut-brown plumage, black head, and white belly, chestnut munias inhabit grasslands, rice paddies, and open forest edges from India and Sri Lanka east through Southeast Asia to the Philippines and Taiwan. Highly gregarious, they form large flocks and are sometimes considered minor agricultural pests on rice crops. Widely kept as aviary birds across Asia, they are relatively easy to breed and maintain in captivity.
