6 thoughts on “Palm Lorikeet (Charmosyna palmarum)”
I agree that recent records suggest that the species does population size does not meet the criterial for fluctuation.
I believe that it is quite plausible that the total population size is <10,000 adults.
Population decline is unproven but likely
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 adopt the proposed classifications outlined in the initial forum discussion.
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.
Missing in the listed references is the 2019 report by Pierce et al. which i generally supportive to the current findings and possibly represented in the text by “Ray Pierce in litt.” Still I recommend reviewing and adding the following technical report as an additional reference:

Recommended categorisation to be put forward to IUCN
The final categorisation for this species has not changed. Palm Lorikeet is recommended to be listed as Least Concern.
