Silvereye: Birds Image Stock https://www.birdsimagestock.com/p745190043 Easily recognised by its conspicuous white eye-ring, the silvereye (or wax-eye, Zosterops lateralis), known in Māori as tauhou (meaning "stranger" or "new arrival"), is a small, self-introduced native bird in New Zealand. It was first recorded in New Zealand in 1832, with a larger migration arriving around 1856 (likely blown across the Tasman Sea from Australia by a storm). They are legally and ecologically classified as native because they arrived without human help. Like native honeyeaters (such as the tūī and bellbird), silvereyes have a specialized, brush-tipped tongue designed for lapping up nectar and poking into tight spaces. en-us (C) BirdsImageStock birdsimagestock@gmail.com (Birds Image Stock) Tue, 10 Nov 2026 17:25:12 GMT Tue, 10 Nov 2026 17:27:34 GMT Birds Animals https://www.birdsimagestock.com/img/s/v-10/p1874958275-10.jpg Silvereye: Birds Image Stock https://www.birdsimagestock.com/p745190043 120 112 Silvereye https://www.birdsimagestock.com/p745190043/e6C35EA92
