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-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.
