The green-faced parrotfinch (Erythrura viridifacies) is a rare species of estrildid finch found in northern Philippines, on Luzon, Mindoro, Panay, Negros and Cebu islands.
[2] It is listed as vulnerable on the IUCN and is threatened by habitat loss, deforestation and the illegal cage bird trade.
[4][5] In 2024, for multiple weeks, a small group of 8 birds was observed in Rizal picking up snails in streams and dipping them in the water.
The cage-bird trade in the 1930s to the 1980s has also affected its population as large numbers of green-faced parrotfinch in many districts of Manila have been caught and exported to the United States.
Proposed conservation actions include more fieldwork and observations to properly understand its true range and disperasal habits.
