About These Birds
Japanese White-eye
The Japanese white-eye is a familiar garden bird across East Asia, beloved in Japan where it is called mejiro. These sociable birds form flocks outside the breeding season and are important pollinators of plum and cherry blossoms. Unfortunately, introduced populations in Hawaii have become invasive, competing with native honeycreepers.
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.
