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-crowned Babbler

The Black-crowned Babbler is a distinctive babbler endemic to the Philippines, found in the forests of several Visayan islands, with a bold black cap and breast band contrasting with white underparts and chestnut brown upperparts. It inhabits primary and mature secondary lowland and montane forests. It feeds on insects and small invertebrates, foraging actively in the understory.
