市政鸟在东半球的热带地区非常普遍。在它们的自然栖息地，它们是稀树大草原的鸟类，但它们已经适应了一些不同的栖息地，包括人类居住的地区。它们的大小从爪哇麻雀(大约是普通八哥的大小)到身材矮小的马达加斯加曼尼金。它们引人注目的羽毛使它们作为笼鸟而广受欢迎，而且它们在圈养中很容易繁殖。这本书涵盖了43种市政鸟和山猫。作者最近在科学上描述了一个新种和十个新亚种。
Munias are widespread throughout the Old World's tropical regions. In their natural habitat, they are birds of the savanna, but they have adapted to a number of different habitats, including areas inhabited by humans. They range in size from the Java sparrow (which is about the size of a common starling) to the diminutive Madagascar mannikin. Their striking plumage makes them popular as cagebirds and they breed readily in captivity. This book covers 43 species of munias and mannikins. The author has recently described one new species and ten new subspecies to science.
