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.
Ashy-bellied White-eye
The Ashy-bellied White-eye is a small songbird found on islands of the Indonesian archipelago. Weighing about 11.5g with a wingspan near 11.5cm, it has the characteristic white eye-ring of the Zosteropidae family and pale yellowish-grey underparts. It forages in flocks through forest canopy and scrub, feeding on nectar and small insects.
