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.
Black-chinned Yuhina
The Black-chinned Yuhina is a small, crested babbler of South and Southeast Asian montane forests, with a small upswept crest, black chin, grey head, and olive-brown upperparts. It ranges from the Himalayan foothills through southern China, Myanmar, Vietnam, and Taiwan, inhabiting the canopy and edges of montane forests. It is highly social, foraging in noisy mixed-species flocks and feeding on insects, nectar, and berries.
