5 thoughts on “Tanimbar Oriole (Oriolus decipiens)”
A very common species, even in heavily degraded, forest edge habitat, with few trees present. Certainly one of the most regularly encountered and widespread of all the endemics on the island. I can’t see beyond LC for this species, given how common it is.
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 temporarily closed and we are unable to accept any more comments until 6 February 2023. We will now analyse and interpret new information, and we will post a preliminary decision on this species’ Red List status on this page on 6 February 2023, when discussions will re-open.
Based on the comments made on this Forum, it is clear that the species exhibits substantial tolerance to forest degradation, reportedly being a ‘very common species, even in heavily degraded, forest edge habitat with few trees present’ (J. Eaton in litt. 2023). This strongly suggests that the slow rates of forest loss (which are often linear in shape for road building etc.) is not yet likely to be affecting the species. Based on this updated information, our preliminary proposal for the 2023 Red List would be to list Tanimbar Oriole as Least Concern.
There is now a period for further comments until the final deadline on 12 February 2023, after which the recommended categorisations will be put forward to IUCN.
The final 2023 Red List categories will be published on the BirdLife and IUCN websites in December 2023, following further checking of information relevant to the assessments by both BirdLife and IUCN.

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