Silvereye

The silvereye or wax-eye (Zosterops lateralis) is a very small omnivorous passerine bird of the south-west pacific. In Australia and New Zealand its common name is sometimes shortened to white-eye, but this name is more commonly used to refer to all members of the genus Zosterops, or the entire family Zosteropidae.

In New Zealand, the silvereye was first recorded in 1832. It arrived in greater numbers in 1856, and it is assumed that a migrating flock was swept eastwards by a storm. As an apparently self-introduced bird it is protected as a native New Zealand species. Its Māori name, tauhou, means "stranger" or more literally, "new arrival".

Taxonomy

The Silvereye was first described by the English ornithologist John Latham in 1801 under the binomial name Sylvia lateralis. There are 17 subspecies:

Z. l. chlorocephalus A. J. Campbell & S. A. White, 1910 (Capricorn silvereye)– Capricorn and Bunker Group, central Queensland, Australia

Z. l. chloronotus Gould, 1841 (western silvereye) – south-west Western Australia from Carnarvon southwards coastally and subcoastally to South Australia at the head of the Great Australian Bight

Don't Call Me

by: Sylver

Don't call me beautiful
Don't call me hot
Don't call me lovable
Because I'm not
Don't call me generous
Don't call me kind
Don't call luminous
Don't be so blind
I am a sinner
I'm not a saint
I am a winner
And you sure ain't
Don't be so desperate
Don't be naive
I'm full of lies
Which you believe
Don't call me angel
Don't call me sweet
Don't call me baby
Your heart will bleed
Don't call me perfect
Don't call me nice
Don't think I care
And think twice
I am a sinner
I'm not a saint
I am a winner
And you sure ain't
Don't be so desperate
Don't be naive
I'm full of lies
Which you believe
Don't call me beautiful
Don't call me beautiful
Don't call me beautiful
Don't call me hot
I am a sinner
I'm not a saint
I am a winner
And you sure ain't
Don't be so desperate
Don't be naive
I'm full of lies
