Population justification: Partners in Flight (2019) estimated the population to number fewer than 50,000 mature individuals, thus it is placed in the band 20,000-49,999 mature individuals here.
Trend justification: The population is suspected to be declining moderately rapidly owing to heavy pressure from capture for illegal trade (Cantú et al. 2007; Marín-Togo et al. 2012). The population on Tres Marías Island has reportedly declined (Collar and Boesman 2014).
