Justification of Red List category
This small, charismatic parrot is endemic to Java and Bali, Indonesia, where an apparent increase in demand for it in the cagebird trade is thought to be causing moderately rapid declines. Since approximately 2016, these declines are thought to have approached the threshold for listing as threatened; the species is therefore assessed as Near Threatened. Monitoring to determine the impact of the cagebird trade on wild populations is urgently needed to more precisely determine ongoing rates of decline.
