Justification of Red List category
This species has a small population. It tolerates habitat conversion, but pressure from the cage-bird trade appears to be increasing in recent years and driving a population decline. The species is therefore listed as Vulnerable, but up-to-date information on the population size and rate of decline is urgently needed.

Population size: 9200-46000 mature individuals

Population trend: decreasing

Extent of occurrence (breeding/resident): 1,041,000 km²
