About These Birds
Black-chinned Yuhina
The Black-chinned Yuhina is a small, crested babbler of South and Southeast Asian montane forests, with a small upswept crest, black chin, grey head, and olive-brown upperparts. It ranges from the Himalayan foothills through southern China, Myanmar, Vietnam, and Taiwan, inhabiting the canopy and edges of montane forests. It is highly social, foraging in noisy mixed-species flocks and feeding on insects, nectar, and berries.
African Yellow White-eye
The African Yellow White-eye is a tiny, active passerine of the Zosteropidae family, weighing about 10 g with a wingspan near 11 cm. It moves energetically through forest canopy and woodland across sub-Saharan Africa, identifiable by its yellow-green plumage and conspicuous white eye-ring.
