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.
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.
