The silvereye, also known as the wax-eye (Zosterops lateralis), is a tiny omnivorous passerine bird native to the southwest Pacific. In Australia and New Zealand, it is sometimes referred to as a white-eye, though this term is more broadly applied to all species within the genus Zosterops, or even the entire Zosteropidae family.
In New Zealand, the silvereye was first recorded in 1832 and arrived in larger numbers by 1856, likely after a migrating flock was blown eastward by a storm. Although the silvereye is considered an introduced species in New Zealand, it is protected as a native bird. The Māori name for the silvereye, tauhou, translates to “stranger” or “new arrival,” reflecting its relatively recent appearance in the country.
