About These Birds

Japanbrillenvogel

Der Japanbrillenvogel ist in ganz Ostasien ein vertrauter Gartenvogel und wird in Japan, wo er „Mejiro“ genannt wird, besonders geschätzt. Diese geselligen Vögel bilden außerhalb der Brutzeit Schwärme und sind wichtige Bestäuber von Pflaumen- und Kirschblüten. Auf Hawaii eingeführte Populationen sind allerdings invasiv geworden und konkurrieren dort mit einheimischen Kleidervögeln.

Black-ringed White-eye

The Black-ringed White-eye is a small, active white-eye with olive-green plumage, a distinctive black ring around the white eye ring, and yellowish underparts. It is endemic to Sulawesi and adjacent Indonesian islands, inhabiting forest, forest edges, and secondary growth. It feeds on insects, nectar, and small fruits, moving energetically through the canopy in small flocks.
