Population justification: The population has been estimated at 290,000-1,002,000 individuals.

Trend justification: There has been a major population decline since the 1970s owing principally to widespread trapping for the wild bird trade. Due to the bird trade, the rate of decline over three generations is suspected to fall in the 20-29% band. Hybridisation may prove to be of concern.
