Could you scoot over a little, please?. Silvereyes
Yellow, round, tiny and gregarious—say hello to these silvereyes enjoying cherry blossoms in South Korea! While this family of passerine birds is native to Africa, Australasia and Asia, several of its species can be found in places like French Polynesia and Hawaii, where they appeared by introduction. Also known as white-eyes or wax-eyes, these avians come in a range of colours and patterns, but they all share that trademark eye-ring. They have a sweet tooth for nectar, but they're not picky eaters, happily feeding on fruits, insects and berries. On our March adventures, let's celebrate these beauties for adding a touch of wonder to spring!
