[[Category:Maya (bird)]]
The term maya refers to a folk taxon often used in the Philippines to refer to a variety of small, commonly-observed passerine birds, including a number of sparrows, finches and munias.
This group includes Lonchura atricapilla, specifically referred to by the common name "mayang pula" ("red maya"),[1] which was recognized as the national bird of the Philippines until 1995, when President Fidel V. Ramos formally transferred that honorific to the Philippine eagle.
It also includes the Eurasian tree sparrow, Passer montanus, introduced from Europe and locally referred to as "mayang simbahan" - an invasive species so predominant in urban areas that many urban Filipinos mistakenly think it is the only species referred to as "maya."
