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.
Bismarck White-eye
The Bismarck White-eye is a small white-eye endemic to the Bismarck Archipelago in Papua New Guinea. It has olive-green plumage with yellowish underparts and the characteristic white eye-ring of the Zosterops genus. It forages in forest canopy for insects, nectar, and small fruits, often in flocks.
