Also known as the Maejiro, it was introduced to Oahu in 1929 from Japan.
It's a common small bird in the city as well as the forest.
It nests from February to November. The nest is a small cup of woven
fibers and grass. The eggs incubate for 11 days and then fledge after
9 or 10 days.
The Japanese White-eye at a distance looks very similar to the native
Amaki'i. It's easily distinguished however, by the white circle around
the eye. The Amaki'i has a black circle.
