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.
African Yellow White-eye
The African Yellow White-eye is a tiny, active passerine of the Zosteropidae family, weighing about 10 g with a wingspan near 11 cm. It moves energetically through forest canopy and woodland across sub-Saharan Africa, identifiable by its yellow-green plumage and conspicuous white eye-ring.
