Japanese White Eye again ♪

These white eyes were flying around the trees close to my house for food at the same time with Dusky Thrush I posted here.  Familiar Bird again :-)  

We have a phrase 'おしどり夫婦. oshidori-fuufu',  in English these words literally means "Mandarin duck-couple" and equivalent word can be "lovebird".  I know what bird the word means in English. I was reminded that in both cultures birds represent the happy relationship of the (married) couple♡♡♡

And they were busy having the fruits of  Pyracantha Firethorn.

           Linking to "Saturday's critters", "Camera-Critters" and "Nature Notes"

Thank you very much for for stopping by, I appreciate your kind visits;

  7. Hi Miyako, I love the photo's of the white eyes, they are such active little birds aren't they. We have them here as well and in some regions they are called waxeyes. They visit the feijoa tree in my neighbour's yard and not far from our kitchen window.

    greetings from New Zealand,

  13. Wow Miyako san, they are super adorable! Love photos of two of them together. They look very happy to have each other :-) And the photos of them eating fruits are beautiful!
    There are two pigeons visiting around our home very often, and they are always together. They are indeed lovebirds, too :-)
