Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is reported to be locally common in India and uncommon in southern China (Turner and Rose 1989, MacKinnon and Phillipps 2000). The population is suspected to be increasing owing to the availability of artificial nest sites (del Hoyo et al. 2004).

Trend justification: The population is suspected to be increasing owing to the availability of artificial nest sites (del Hoyo et al. 2004).
