Bespectacled Bird – Indian White-eye

Much like human beings, Oriental White-eyes are social birds. You’ll see them congregating in flocks as small as 10 or much larger, everywhere — even in your backyard. You’ll even see them in mixed flocks, with birds from other species.

These are small birds with green to yellowish-green upper parts, dark beaks, and a prominent white eye-ring. The males and the females look alike.

They thrive in a variety of habitats (scrubs, groves, gardens, orchards, forests), climate zones, and altitudes. In fact, they’re known to be good colonisers, even adapting well to disturbed habitats (such as cities).
