Solomon Islands White-eye

Zosterops strenuus

The Solomon Islands White-eye (Zosterops strenuus) is a small, passerine bird native to the Solomon Islands in the Pacific Ocean. It is characterized by its distinctive white eye-ring and olive-green plumage. These sociable birds are often found in pairs or small groups, foraging for insects and nectar in the forest canopy. They are known for their melodious and varied songs, which they use for communication and territorial defense. The Solomon Islands White-eye plays a vital role in pollination and seed dispersal within its forest habitat. However, like many island species, it faces threats from habitat loss and invasive species.
