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.
Anjouan White-eye
The Anjouan White-eye is a small passerine weighing around 11 grams, endemic to Anjouan Island in the Comoros archipelago. It inhabits native forest and gardens, where it forages for nectar, insects, and small fruits. Like other white-eyes, it has the characteristic pale eye-ring.
