Threats

Once a widespread species, this forest-dwelling bird is threatened by the alarming rate of lowland deforestation throughout its range (2) (8). Fortunately, this resilient bird tolerates secondary, selectively-logged forest and remains locally common, even despite high hunting pressure in several areas (6) (8).

Conservation

This colourful, forest-dwelling bird is reported from several protected areas in Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia (2).
