Black-crowned White-eye

Zosterops atriceps

The Black-crowned White-eye (Zosterops atriceps) is a small passerine bird found in the Philippines. It is characterized by its distinctive black crown and white eye-ring, which contrast with its olive-green upperparts and yellow underparts. This species is known for its lively and sociable behavior, often found in small flocks foraging for insects and nectar in forest canopies. The Black-crowned White-eye plays a vital role in pollination and seed dispersal within its habitat. However, due to habitat loss and fragmentation, its population is declining, leading to concerns about its conservation status.
