Munias belong
to a group of birds that are very familiar to Malaysian homes. That
is, they hang around open fields in residential area. Well most of
them do! Their distinctive features:- powerful, short conical bills.
They feed on grains, move about in flocks and though softly but are
noisy feeders.
The most common
sub-species being the Scaly Munia. Then in more rural areas, the
White-headed and Black-headed Munias.
The White-rumped
though appear on both lowlands and high hills stays further away
from residential places. I still have not verified the reasons for
its popularity as cage birds. |
