Justification of Red List category
In the past, this species has undergone rapid population reductions owing to exploitation for the cage-bird trade. The rate of decline was probably very rapid during the early 1980s, but the situation has now improved, and the species is currently assessed as stable. The population is however small, and therefore the species is listed as Vulnerable. If pressure from the cage-bird trade were to increase and the population declined again, its status would revert to Endangered.
