The species is common in the range with occupied larger range similar to Red-Fronted Macaw. Nest and roost ( build their nest and roosting site) in rock shelter , spined bromelid cliffs that is hard to reach due to poaching! The potential atribute as “invasive species, the population can grow and declined dependeng on the productivity of the year.
Poisoning could be a threat to the species, as it is for other parrot species in its range. Red-fronted Macaws as well as Mitred Parakeets are killed at corn fields by placing poison within corn cobs as they are seen as pest species. We do not have information whether this is actually killing Cliff Parakeets but could be the case. During the 2021 Red-fronted Macaw breeding population census large Cliff Parakeet colonies were encountered throughout the Dry Andean Valleys in the Caine, Mizque, Pilcomayo and Grande river basins.
Many thanks to everyone who has contributed to this discussion. We greatly appreciate the time and effort invested by so many people in commenting. The window for consultation is now closed and we are unable to accept any more comments until 21 February 2022. We will now analyse and interpret the new information, and we will post a preliminary decision on this species’s Red List status on this page on 21 February 2022, when discussions will re-open.
Based on available information, our preliminary proposal for the 2022.1 Red List would be to adopt the proposed classifications outlined in the initial forum discussion.
There is now a period for further comments until the final deadline on 27 February 2022, after which the recommended categorisations will be put forward to IUCN.
The final 2022.1 Red List categories will be published on the BirdLife and IUCN websites in July 2022, following further checking of information relevant to the assessments by both BirdLife and IUCN.
