Japanese white-eyes have a small body build with yellowish-green
back feathers, milky white front feathers, pure white eye rings
that look almost like embroidery.
Behavior:
Japanese
white-eyes have beautiful voices, with their clear, loud calls
sounding like "jiu jiu." Their primary sources of
food are nectar, insects, and wild berries, and they are often
spotted hanging upside down to pick at worms or nibble on flowers.
Their breeding season falls between spring and summer, and their
well-constructed nests are usually built either on fruit trees
or hidden away on thin branches of small shrubs. Females typically
lay a clutch of two to three delicate, light blue, oval-shaped
eggs. Japanese white-eyes are very nimble and active birds,
and are often seen in small groups of their own kind or with
other bird groups.
Habitat:
Japanese
white-eyes are commonly seen in forests ranging from ground
level up to mountains below 1500m in elevation. They are frequent
visitors to parks, orchards, and backyard gardens.
