Farmers are often annoyed by this one pest. Birds, these pests often make it difficult for farmers, especially during the pre-harvest rice period. Birds cause severe damage if there is a significant difference in planting time (more than 3 weeks) than the surrounding rice fields. The bird species that most often causes serious harm is the sparrows (Lonchura sp.) Which usually attack in groups from tens to thousands in number. I often watch sparrows in the paddy ricefield and the farmer scare them away by majking some noise and scarecore.

Those birds just want to eat. But the farmers do not want them eating their food in the fields.

we do not have a lot of rice fields nearby so the birds here are few. Sparrows are pretty though.
