The tiny male STRAWBERRY FINCH, natty in red vest with white polka dots, seasonally assumes a
drab garb (bird at extreme left, above) resembling, though darker than, the plumage of the female
(perched, right wing extended, and flying). The domesticated BENGALEE, of uncertain origin, has been
bred in three forms-dark brown and white, fawn and white, and pure white. The first two are shown
here (center, perched and flying). A native of the Netherlands Indies and the Malay Peninsula, the
JAVA SPARROW (lowest pair, normal and white forms) is a large and hardy breed.
