The popular cage-bird is listed as endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and a protected species by the Indonesian environment and forestry ministry.
The birds were due to be taken by ferry to Surabaya, a city in the east of Indonesia’s main island Java.
The surviving white-eye birds were released back into the wild.
Under Indonesian law, poaching or trading of protected species is punishable up to 15 years in prison.
