Timor white-eye

Zosterops fuscicapilla

The Timor white-eye (Zosterops fuscicapilla) is a small passerine bird native to the islands of Timor and Wetar in Southeast Asia. It is characterized by its distinctive white eye-ring and olive-green upperparts. This species is known for its lively and sociable behavior, often forming small flocks as they forage for insects and nectar in the forest canopy. The Timor white-eye plays a vital role in pollination and seed dispersal within its habitat. However, like many island species, it faces threats from habitat loss and invasive species, which have led to population declines in some areas.

Habitat: Forest canopy and edges
