Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as common in suitable habitat (Gibbs et al. 2001). The population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats, although long-term threats, including mining, urban development and predation by domestic cats have been identified (del Hoyo et al. 1997).
