Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but density descriptions range from uncommon to fairly common but patchily distributed (Stotz et al. 1996, Freile and Restall 2018, Hilty 2021). In view of its large range however, the population is unlikely to be small even if it is limited by the availability of oropendola nests.

Trend justification: The population trend has not been investigated, but the species is known to tolerate edge and degraded habitat (Mobley and Sharpe 2020). Consequently, the current low rate of tree cover loss within the range (5% over ten years; Global Forest Watch 2023, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein) may not be driving a population decline. In the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats, the population is suspected to be stable.
