Tricolored Munia (Lonchura malacca) is a small passerine bird with distinctive black, white, and chestnut plumage. It has a stout bill and a short tail. The male displays brighter colors with a black head and white cheeks, while the female is more subdued.

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast

Tricolored Munias are commonly found across Pakistan, primarily in grasslands, agricultural areas, and open habitats. They are also spotted in urban and suburban areas, particularly where there are grassy patches or water bodies nearby.

These birds are highly social and often seen in small flocks, foraging for seeds and grains on the ground or in low vegetation. They breed throughout the year, building their nests in bushes or grasses. Tricolored Munias are known for their melodious chirping calls, especially during the breeding season. They are adaptable and can thrive in various environments, including human-modified landscapes.
