Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is reported as being fairly common (Eaton et al. 2021) and widespread (Marsden et al. 2023).

Trend justification: Suspected to be declining slowly because of habitat loss (Hansen et al. 2013, Global Forest Watch 2023) and trapping for the cagebird trade (Nijman 2022).
