The munia, also known as the weaver-bird, is a fascinating species with its intricate nests and vibrant plumage. In various parts of the world, such as Hong Kong and Atherton Tableland, these birds can be found perched on citronella bushes or grass stems. One particular member of this family is the White-rumped Munia. With its adult form delicately resting in a citronella bush in Long Valley, it adds a touch of elegance to its surroundings. Meanwhile, the Scaly-breasted Munia showcases its juvenile stage while perched on grass stems in Mai Po. Feeding habits are also observed among these munias. The Chestnut-breasted they are be seen indulging in grass seeds at Atherton Tableland repeatedly. Their presence brings life to the landscape as they flutter around and nourish themselves. Another interesting species within this group is Hunsteins Mannikin. Standing tall amidst lush green grass at Kavieng Airport in New Ireland's Bismarck Archipelago, it exudes confidence and grace. The diversity within this genus extends beyond just one type of munia; Lonchura maja displays white-headed beauty while Amandava amandava boasts a striking red avian appearance. Each variation contributes to the overall charm that these birds possess. Whether it's Lonchura sp. , Lonchura striata (white-rumped munia), or any other member of this captivating family - their presence enhances our natural environment with their nests' litho artistry and their own unique characteristics.
