  White-eye - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The birds of this group are mostly of undistinguished appearance, the plumage above being generally either mouse-coloured or greenish olive, but some species have a white or bright yellow throat, breast or lower parts, and several have buff flanks.
The Silvereye can be a problem in Australian vineyards, through piercing the grape allowing infection or insect damage to follow.
The scientific name of the group derives from the Greek for girdle-eye, and refers to the ring of white feathers round the eyes, which is very conspicuous in many species.

 White Cats, Eye Colours and Deafness   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Dominant white (more properly "epistatic white" since it occurs on a different gene to the fl-based or red-based colours) is the colour associated with deafness in cats.
Some dominant white kittens are born with smudges of coloured fur on top of the head where the colour is incompletely masked, this smudge of colour usually disappears by adulthood, but kittens with colour smudges are more likely to have normal hearing.
Of those white cats with one or two blue eyes, 60-80% are deaf; 20-40% have normal hearing; 30-40% had one blue eye and were deaf while 60-70% had one blue eye and normal hearing.

My Ph.D. research focuses on the molecular characterization of the white eye gene in the oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel), which is a major fruit pest species in the Asian and Pacific areas.
The white eye gene, which is called white gene in Drosophila melanogaster, has drawn researchers’ attention recently because it can be used as a morphological selection marker in the transgenic insect systems.
Mutation in white gene leads to deficiency of pigmentation and pure white eye phenotype will be observed.
