About These Birds
Black-capped White-eye
The Black-capped White-eye is a small, greenish-yellow white-eye of montane forests in Borneo, Indonesia, and the Philippines, with a distinctive black cap setting it apart from similar species. It inhabits the canopy and edges of montane forests at medium to high elevations. It feeds on nectar, small insects, and berries, often foraging in small, active flocks.
Biak White-eye
The Biak White-eye is a near-threatened small passerine endemic to Biak Island in West Papua, Indonesia. It has olive-green plumage with the characteristic white eye-ring of white-eyes. It forages in forest canopy and edges for insects, nectar, and small fruits, and is restricted to its small island range.
