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.
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.
