Basic Description

Warbling White-eyes are small, yellow-olive birds highlighted by very bold white eyerings. Large, noisy flocks are common in forests, woodlands, parks, and gardens in their native range in eastern Asia and in their introduced range in the Hawaiian Islands. They move energetically through all levels of shrubs and trees in search of insects, fruits, and nectar.
