Happy Summer Days: Java Sparrows on Palm

We have bunches of Java Sparrows hopping and popping around our house all day, every day. They are really funny to watch especially with their puffy white cheeks and sleek blue-grey jackets. Java Sparrows are friendly, busy-body birds. The other day, I was watching a female Northern Cardinal eat seeds on the ground below my feeder. She was having a great time until three little Java Sparrows came up rough-housing and almost barreled straight into her. She took one look, turned and gave them all scoldings. The Java Sparrows scampered away without a fight. My lady Northern Cardinal is Big Mama of the neighborhood and she definitely didn't appreciate those three hooligans causing all that ruckus during lunchtime!
