A Bird

The other day, my father sent me photos of a bird. The bird was Japanese white-eye and caught by my cat. My father saved the bird immediately. Fortunately, the bird didn't hurt badly, so flew away with his fellow after a while. White-eyes have a white pattern around their eyes as its name suggests, and their body color is yellow-green. They are really cute birds.

The bird was a Japanese white-eye, and it was caught by my cat.

"Was" serves two different slightly different purposes here: in the first instance, it's simply describing an attribute, while in the second, it's part of a passive voice construction. Thus, it sounds better to not treat them as part of a parallel structure.

Fortunately, the bird didwasn't hurt badly, so he flew away with his fellowthe other birds after a while.

White-eyes have a white pattern around their eyes as its name suggestssuggested by their name, and their body color is a yellow-green color.

"Name" is attached to "white-eyes," so the possessive marker must be for a plural noun.

I felt like “fellow” sounded a bit odd here, so I replaced it with “companions”.

“They are” is often written/said as “they’re”.
