7 thoughts on “Scaly-breasted Bulbul (Ixidia squamata)”
not agree with this, because wild bird population were trapped from southern part of thailand
this link show you for example wild bird in cage at Narathiwas province near border Thai and Malaysia.
And this paper shown you about the commoner species of songbirds at Protected areas from Southern part of thailand were trapped and sold to illegal bird trade online.
I strongly oppose the downlisting. Scaly-breasted Bulbul has been one of the highly sought-after species by local poachers in illegal pet trade, at least in Thailand. Due to trapping and ongoing loss of lowland forest, it has either become much less common or even seemingly extirpated in many locations in southern Thailand where healthy populations now reside in only a handful of protected areas.
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 28 October 2024. We will now analyse and interpret the information, and we will post a preliminary decision on this species’ Red List status on this page on 28 October 2024, when discussions will re-open.
Based on available information, our preliminary proposal for the 2025 Red List would be to list Scaly-breasted Bulbul as Near Threatened, approaching thresholds under Criteria A2cd+3cd+4cd.
Information has been provided highlighting the high rate of trade of Bulbuls in the species’ range in Thailand. A further investigation has revealed that the species may be more common in trade than initially considered. As such, precautionary declines of 5-25% over three generations is considered reasonable.
There is now a period for further comments until the final deadline on 10 November 2024, after which the recommended categorisations will be put forward to IUCN.
The final Red List categories will be published on the BirdLife and IUCN websites in 2025, following further checking of information relevant to the assessments by both BirdLife and IUCN.
Confirming a continued demand for this species in the domestic and international trade. Numbers are elusive and the species is at least in Indonesia currently not in high but steady ongoing demand.

Recommended categorisation to be put forward to IUCN
The final categorisation for this species has not changed. Scaly-breasted Bulbul is recommended to be listed as Near Threatened, approaching thresholds under Criteria A2cd+3cd+4cd.
