Description
The green-faced parrotfinch (Erythrura viridifacies) is a species of estrildid finch found in northern Philippines, on Luzon, Panay, Negros and Cebu islands. Its local name is mayang-kawayan in Tagalog. 
Size
12 cm
Habitat
It inhabits tropical moist forest (including degraded areas), forest edge and even savannah, often above 1,000 m, but is occasionally found in the lowlands. It is usually found together with flowering or seeding bamboos, which are its food supply.
General Info
Species Status
This species is currently conserved in two protected areas, the Northern Sierra Madre Natural Park and Bataan Natural Park/Subic Bay. However, due to its nomadic habits, occurrence in protected areas does not necessarily confer continual protection. It was also proposed to conduct research on the distribution of the bamboos upon which it relies, and assess its response to deforestation and attempt to understand its movements, then afford protection to key sites found to support populations and favoured bamboos.
