Hi All,

Please check out: Indian White Eye Care & Natural History

The tiny Indian white eye has long been a favorite cage bird both here and abroad. Captive bred individuals are readily available…for those of you considering something a bit different for your collection, this charming, warbler-like little fellow is worth a look. Read article here:

Thanks for posting Frank. In Australia we keep various sub-species of Zosterops Lateralis, and we call them Silvereyes. As usual we are not able to obtain any of the foreign species due to our importation restrictions.

Thanks...I reacall now that an Australian co-worker at the Bx Zoo called them Silver eyes, best Frank

We are probably the only country in the world that calls them Silvereyes. Just have to be different! Not sure about New Zealand. On Norfolk Island they are called Grinnels ???

Thanks..I've never met an Australian who wasn't both unique and a pleasure to know! Hope to visit soon, friends have just moved back, Best, Frank
