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.
Bare-eyed White-eye
The Bare-eyed White-eye is a small white-eye of the family Zosteropidae found on the island of Rennell in the Solomon Islands. Weighing about 29.75g with a wingspan of 14.9cm, it differs from other white-eyes by lacking the typical prominent white eye-ring. It forages through forest canopy and scrub, feeding on nectar, small insects, and berries.
