Wild Animals of the Philippines - Prior to 1995, this common bird, an introduced species, was the national bird of the Philippines. Which bird is it?
The correct answer is 'Passer montanus (maya)'
Traditionally, the term "maya" has been applied to many different small birds from the Order Passeriformes. The actual maya that was the Philippines' national bird though, was the Eurasian tree sparrow. This was considered odd, since the bird was not endemic or even native to the archipelago. In 1995, the monkey-eating eagle, an endemic species, was rechristened as the country's national bird.
Passer montanus itself is a common pest throughout the world, where its distribution is more-or-less worldwide. It is associated with urban habitats and can often be found nesting in holes in buildings, within ceilings and even the insides of airconditioning units.
