Vieillot's Black Weaver

Tiny short-tailed parrot, endemic to Java and Bali. Leaf-green overall, with a bright red rump, pale eyes, and dainty orange bill. Pale orange patch on the chest is not always apparent. No similar species exist in its restricted range. Inhabits forested and wooded areas in lowlands and foothills. Due to its size and coloration, can be difficult to see; listen for its high-pitched “tsee!”, often given while in flight. Unlike larger parrots, does not tend to gather in large flocks, usually moving singly or in pairs. Often visits flowers.

A small kingfisher with a bright orange bill, peach underparts, a speckled blue head, and deep blue upperparts with an electric blue stripe running down them. Also note the white neck mark and the orange blotches above the bill. Juveniles darker above, with dark base to bill. Found singly or in pairs in forest understorey within the lowlands and foothills, sometimes beside forest streams. Differentiated from Common and Azure Kingfishers by its smaller size and orange bill. Gives a shrill, single drawn-out “tseeeeet” call.

Very small finchlike bird with a short bill. Inhabits savannas and grasslands, where it often joins flocks of other seedeater species. Males are mostly gray-brown with a hint of cinnamon and have a black cap, wings and tail. Females are brown above and pale below, and are very similar to female Copper Seedeaters, but are grayer than that species.
