Population & trend
| Estimate | Data quality | Derivation | Year of estimate | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No. of mature individuals | 1500-7000 | poor | Estimated | 2000 |
| Population trend | Decreasing | poor | - | |
| Number of subpopulations | 2-100 | - | - | - |
| Largest subpopulation | 1001-8899 | - | - | - |
| Population justification: The global population is estimated to number c.2,500-9,999 individuals (Population estimate derived from analysis of recent records and surveys detailed in BirdLife International 2001). This estimate equates to 1,667-6,666 mature individuals, rounded here to 1,500-7,000 mature individuals. National population estimates include: c.100-10,000 introduced breeding pairs in China; < c.100 introduced breeding pairs in Taiwan and < c.10,000 introduced breeding pairs in Japan (Brazil 2009). | ||||
| Trend justification: A rapid and on-going population decline is inferred on the basis of trapping pressure for the international cage-bird trade. | ||||
