Seram White-eye

Zosterops stalkeri

Identification Tips

Upon observing the Seram white-eye, one will note the black crown and sides of the head, contrasting with the dark bronze upperparts. The rump boasts a striking yellow-bronze hue, while the sides of the breast and flanks are a subtle greyish-white. The bird's undertail-coverts are a vivid orange-yellow, and the thighs are a delicate whitish tone. The uppertail presents as a brownish-black. Both sexes share a similar plumage, but the immatures can be distinguished by a greener, more diffuse throat and a chin with more black intermixed among the feathers.

Habitat

The Seram white-eye is a bird that thrives in the open woodlands of Seram, Indonesia, where it has adapted to the local environment.

Distribution

This species is an endemic resident breeder, meaning it is found exclusively on the island of Seram in Indonesia and does not migrate.

Behaviour

Song & Calls

The vocalizations of the Seram white-eye are distinct from those of its relatives, adding to the bird's unique identity within its habitat.

Diet and Feeding

While primarily insectivorous, the Seram white-eye exhibits a diverse palate, partaking in nectar and a variety of fruits as part of its diet.

Conservation status

The IUCN Red List has classified the Seram white-eye as Least Concern, indicating that, at present, there are no immediate threats to its population numbers warranting a higher level of concern.

Learning Birding with Birda
I’m relatively new to birding as a hobby, and Birda is a great way to keep track off all the species I see. I’m still working on my ID skills, but the app is great for figuring out potential species, and the online community is so friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend Birda to both early and serious birders! 🐦

Terrific App for Birders
Downloaded Birda around the time my interest in birding was sparked, and it has been a terrific app to help me (1) share my experience, (2) document my sightings, and (3) learn more about birds in general. That said, I also believe Birda is a fantastic app for birders of all experience levels. Great community!
