The term "White-eye" commonly refers to a group of small birds belonging to the family Zosteropidae. These birds are characterized by their distinctive white eye rings, which give them their name. They are found in various regions, including Asia, Africa, and Australia, and are known for their lively behavior and social nature. White-eyes typically inhabit forests, gardens, and scrublands, where they feed on insects and fruits. Their small size and active foraging habits make them a delight to observe. Some species, like the Japanese White-eye, are also popular in aviculture due to their charming appearance and vocalizations.
