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.
Ashy-bellied White-eye
The Ashy-bellied White-eye is a small songbird found on islands of the Indonesian archipelago. Weighing about 11.5g with a wingspan near 11.5cm, it has the characteristic white eye-ring of the Zosteropidae family and pale yellowish-grey underparts. It forages in flocks through forest canopy and scrub, feeding on nectar and small insects.
