A single Silvereye bird weighs about the same as two standard Australian $1 coins - 9 to 14 grams (less than half an ounce). 🪙 🐥

A small, vibrant Silvereye perched securely on a thin, V-shaped arrangement of dry, leafless twigs. The bird is viewed in profile facing right, showing off its olive-green head and upper back, a light grey chest, and a bright yellow patch beneath its throat. It features a signature, striking white ring completely encircling its dark eye and a short, fine grey beak. The entire background is a warm, soft-focus cream and brown blur bathed in golden light.
