Zosterops stalkeri

The Seram white-eye, scientifically known as Zosterops stalkeri, is a diminutive and lively passerine bird belonging to the white-eye family. This species is adorned with a distinctive eye-ring, albeit narrow and interrupted at the front, lending it a unique appearance among its kin.

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.

Great app for bird lovers
I love this app! It’s a wonderful way to track birding sessions, and also connect you with fellow birders. I also really like the unidentified bird section, it’s a great community tool to help figure out what a never-before-seen bird is!

I love this app, it puts so much fun into recording the birds I’ve seen and heard while I’m out and about. The interface is user-friendly and suitable for all ages. It’s great to collect badges and to review my “lists”.

Easy to use and accurate
Love this app. It is easy to use and accurate, Their backup communication is really good. I noted a missing species. All through the process, I was kept informed about the progress in correcting the information. I now have the corrected, updated version. 😁 Thanks!

Makes you want to spot birds more
I think this app is fun. It makes you want to spot birds more so I guess in a way it encourages you to get out and about instead of sitting in front of the TV.
