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.
Ambon White-eye
The Ambon White-eye is a small zosteropid weighing 12 g with an 10.9 cm wingspan, endemic to Ambon Island in the Moluccas of Indonesia. Like other white-eyes, it forages actively in flocks through forest canopy for nectar, insects, and small fruits.
