The Santa Cruz White-eye (Zosterops sanctaecrucis) is a small passerine bird endemic to the Santa Cruz Islands in the Pacific Ocean. It has a distinctive white eye-ring, olive-green upperparts, and yellow underparts. This species is known for its melodious and varied song, which is a common sound in the forests of its range. The Santa Cruz White-eye primarily feeds on insects, nectar, and fruits, foraging in the canopy and mid-levels of the forest. Its population is currently stable, but it faces potential threats from habitat loss and introduced predators.
