Inhabits Java ; found there by Mr. Osbeck, who says, it was 

 exceedingly familiar, for if the cage door was opened, it would settle 

 upon the first person's hand that was offered ; if any one whistled, it 

 sang very sweetly in return ; if it saw a dish of water, it went imme- 

 diately and bathed itself therein : it was fed with rice.
