Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as common or locally common (Clement 1999), while national population sizes have been estimated at < c.10,000 introduced breeding pairs in Taiwan and c.100-10,000 introduced breeding pairs in Japan (Brazil 2009). The population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats.
Trend justification: The population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats.
