Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is reported to be locally common (Clement and Hathway 2000). The population in China has been estimated at c.100-10,000 breeding pairs and c.50-1,000 individuals on migration (Brazil 2009).
Trend justification: The species is suspected to be experiencing an on-going decline, owing to high trapping pressure for the cage-bird trade and continuing forest loss (del Hoyo et al. 2005). Subspecies rubecola, which occurs on Java and Bali, has undergone drastic declines in the wild, but is bred in captivity (D. Jeggo in litt. 2018).
