The family Zosteropidae, commonly known as white-eyes, consists of small passerine birds found primarily in Africa, Asia, and the Pacific Islands. They are characterized by their distinctive white eye rings, which give them their name. These birds typically inhabit forests, scrublands, and gardens, where they feed on fruits, nectar, and insects. White-eyes are social creatures, often seen in flocks, and are known for their lively behavior. They have a varied range of vocalizations, which they use for communication. The family includes several genera and species, each adapted to their specific environments and ecological niches.
