π Silvereye (Zosterops lateralis) The silvereye or wax-eye, also known by its MΔori name tauhou, is a small (11-13 cm) bird, readily identified by a prominent white ring of feathers around its eye. Plumage varies by subspecies but generally features olive-green upperparts and lighter underparts (cream, grey, or yellowish) with flanks ranging from chestnut to pale buff. Native to Australia, New Zealand, and southwestern Pacific islands, it's common in most vegetated areas except open grasslands, including forests, scrub, and urban gardens. Silvereyes are active, social birds, often forming flocks outside the breeding season. They are omnivorous, feeding on insects, spiders, berries, fruit, and nectar. Many Australian populations undertake significant nocturnal migrations, including astonishing sea crossings, especially northward in autumn for winter. They build cup-shaped nests and raise multiple broods. 2.5 Flash (Edited) Seventeen subspecies are recognised. Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1) π·: Photo by pen_ash via Pixabay https://pixabay.com/photos/silvereye-white-eye-wax-eye-9518728/ GRER
