Pair of Scaly-breasted (Spotted) Munia Scaly-breasted (Spotted) Munia Pictures and Detail-  I was trying to capture pictures of these tiny birds for many days; however, failed many times because they disappear in a few seconds. After many tries, I got a few pictures of Scaly-breasted Munia also called spotted Munia. The scientific name of this bird is Lonchura punctulata. Scaly-breasted Munia is a popular pet bird and many people capture them in cages which I don't like and admire because I love birds in their free environment. They are also called nutmeg mannikin or spice finch by people who trade them. Spotted Munia are small-sized birds and sometimes, we may miss to notice them. They are native to tropical Asia and can be spotted in many parts. --------- Support this Blog and my Bird Photography --------- Scaly-breasted (Spotted) Muni The amazing thing about this bird is that we can find 11 subspecies of them which are slightly varying in color and size.
