Many thanks to everyone who has contributed to this discussion. We greatly appreciate the time and effort invested in commenting. The window for consultation is now closed and we are unable to accept any more comments until 22 May 2026. We will now analyse and interpret the information, and we will post a preliminary decision on this species’ Red List category on this page on 22 May 2026, when discussions will re-open.
Based on available information, our preliminary proposal for the 2026 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 31 May 2026, after which the recommended categorisations will be put forward to IUCN.
The final 2026 Red List categories will be published on the BirdLife and IUCN websites in November 2026, following further checking of information relevant to the assessments by both BirdLife and IUCN.
Based on my investigations of online bird trade in East Nusa Tenggara Province and interviews with bird trappers, it is estimated that more than 1,000 individuals are harvested annually from Timor and Rote Islands. The species is subsequently transported to Java via sea routes to supply the domestic pet trade. Most birds are collected as nestlings and removed directly from their nests in the wild before fledging. This practice can have severe consequences for wild populations, as it reduces reproductive success and recruitment while exposing young birds to high mortality during transport and captivity.
