The species is still fairly common on some sites on Biak island especially in Supiori region in the North.
I haven´t seen any decline of this species since I started travelling to this island in 2001. Due to its size it can be hard to find but birds seen flying frequently. It does adapt to disturbed forests as it doesn´t rely on big trees for food or breeding. I have documented pairs breeding in termite mounds not more than 1 meter or less from the ground.
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.
