Image description

The three sparrow-like birds depicted differ significantly: The sparrow from Macao (1) shows black plumage with striking orange-yellow wings, the Javanese sparrow (2) is completely black with a white neck patch, while the Cayenne sparrow (3) has uniformly black plumage. These species inhabit different tropical regions - Macao in southern China, Java in Indonesia, and Cayenne in French Guiana, where they have each adapted to local ecosystems. By Dessiné et gravé par Martinet. From Histoire Naturelle des Oiseaux. Planches enluminées d'histoire naturelle, drawn and engraved by F.N. Martinet under the supervision of E.L. Daubenton, Paris 1770 - 1786.
