| 1288395 | 2012-07-14 05:36:00 | Hmm. After a second look at Wikipedia's page it seems that it's not what we thought. The circular colour around the bird's eyes is definitly yellow - not white nor silverish at all. Have I encountered a new sub-species? Maybe, there are several possibilities, a Silvereye could have mated with a Yellow Eyed Penguin...or...what was that yellow thing to the north of kathmandu ?....or it could be a Canary with circles under its eyes as described by Al Bowlly... www.box.com |

From my experience with keas on Arthur's Pass they will chew the rubber around your car windows or windscreen wipers if you are not careful. I doubt if they have apple trees on Arthur's pass. |

| 1288399 | 2012-07-14 10:37:00 | Still looks like a wax eye but not a great photo. They like fruit, cut a kiwifruit and watch them go. There is usually more than two, it seems a bit odd in fact to just see two | Ofthesea (14129) | ||
| 1288400 | 2012-07-14 20:26:00 | Google "waxeye bird". There are photos and that's your bird! | Bryan (147) | ||
| 1288401 | 2012-07-15 03:41:00 | The wax eye loves to eat lard & millet mixed & strung up in a tree. I feed them as they are real good at eating the aphids and other sucking insects in my garden. You will find they are in family groups and will bring the young to feed on the lard mix. |
