Andersson's White-eye

Zosterops anderssoni

Andersson's White-eye (Zosterops anderssoni) is a small passerine bird found in the forests and woodlands of Tanzania. It has a distinctive white eye-ring and olive-green upperparts, with a yellow throat and underparts. This species is known for its acrobatic foraging behavior, often hanging upside down to feed on insects and nectar. It is a social bird, often found in small flocks, and has a melodious song. The Andersson's White-eye plays a vital role in forest ecosystems by dispersing seeds and controlling insect populations. However, habitat loss and fragmentation pose significant threats to its population.
