Population justification: The population size of this species has not been estimated. Although it has a limited range, it is described as locally common (Goes 2014) and appears to be regularly encountered in good numbers when observers are in the appropriate habitat (eBird 2022).

Trend justification: The main threats to most laughingthrush species globally are habitat loss and trapping. According to remote sensing data (Global Forest Watch 2022, based on data from Hansen et al. [2013] and methods disclosed therein), habitat loss in the range of G. ferrarius was <0.5% in the three generations (11.7 years; Bird et al. 2020) to 2022. The species is not also known to be currently trapped (Goes 2014, S. Mahood in litt. 2022). In the absence of any other threats, the species' current population trend is believed to be stable. The entire range lies within protected areas (UNEP-WCMC and IUCN 2022), such that the population trend is likely to remain stable in the future.
