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.
Angola White-eye
The Angola White-eye is a small passerine of the Zosteropidae family, found in woodland habitats in the Congo Basin region. Like other white-eyes, it is characterized by the distinctive white eye-ring and feeds on nectar, small insects, and soft fruits.
