Description The Zosterops japonicus , commonly known as the Japanese White-eye, is a small passerine bird native to East Asia. It is easily recognizable by its distinctive white eye-ring, which contrasts with its olive-green plumage. The bird typically measures around 10-12 cm in length, with a slender body, short tail, and a slightly curved beak. The Japanese White-eye is known for its agile movements as it flits between branches, often in search of nectar, fruits, and insects. During the sakura season, these birds are frequently seen among cherry blossoms, adding to the picturesque beauty of the scene. They are social birds, often found in small flocks, and their soft, melodic calls are a familiar sound in gardens and wooded areas. The species is highly adaptable and has been introduced to various regions outside its native range, including Hawaii and other Pacific islands, where it has become a common sight. In addition to its ecological role as a pollinator, the Japanese White-eye is culturally significant in Japan, symbolizing the arrival of spring.
