Kuehne's White-eye

Zosterops kuehni

Kuehne's White-eye (Zosterops kuehni) is a small passerine bird found in the highlands of New Guinea. It has a distinctive white eye-ring, olive-green upperparts, and yellow underparts. This species is known for its acrobatic foraging behavior, flitting through the foliage in search of insects and nectar. Kuehne's White-eye is often found in montane forests and adjacent habitats, where it forms small flocks and emits high-pitched calls. Although its population size is not well-documented, it is believed to be relatively stable within its restricted range. However, habitat loss and degradation may pose potential threats to this species in the future.
