Believe it or not I haven’t flipped this, the little bird was actually hanging upside down! Tauhou, or silvereye, is a small olive–green forest bird with white rings around the eyes. They have a fine tapered bill and a brush tipped tongue like the Tui and Korimako, the bellbird, for drinking nectar. There are many species in Africa, southern Asia, and the south western Pacific, but it is the Tasmanian sub–Australian species which migrates to the eastern states of the Australian mainland in winter which colonised New Zealand. Silvereyes were recorded in New Zealand as early as 1832 but it was not until 1856 that they arrived in very large numbers. It is assumed that a storm caught a migrating flock and diverted them here. The Maori name means “stranger”. Because the silver–eye colonised New Zealand naturally, it is classified as a native species and is therefore protected. It is now one of the most abundant of New Zealand birds and will be found everywhere excepting open grassland habitats.

This poor little bird was chased into my loungeroom window with a loud thud. I found it dazed, sitting on my front door step. It eventually flew to this tree in my front yard, sat for over 4 hours then flew away…

This is a Zosterops lateralis or Silver Eye. This is another one of native birds that graces my garden, they really love the Grevilleas as shown in this pic. This Grevillea shown is the Hookerana which grows to 3m has dark green foliage with red flowers in spring and summer!

Precious little fledgeling that I almost stepped on. Helpless as still not adept at flight. My neighbour cupped the bird in her hands while I photographed before we located the nest.
