Population justification: The species has been described as common to abundant (Feare and Craig 1998), though the global population size has been assessed to be less than 10,000 mature individuals.

Trend justification: The population is suspected to be declining very rapidly owing to high levels of trapping for the cage bird trade, aided and abetted by widespread forest destruction allowing access to the majority of the sites at which the species occurs.
