| - | '''Status:''' | + | '''Status:''' Least Concern. '''Global Population:''' unknown. Some sources consider this parrot “Threatened” because habitat destruction affects its’ breeding abilities. This species has declined due to increasing persecution as a crop pest. Even though they do not cause intense damage, lethal methods of control are used such as poisoning and shooting. Also, conversion of grassland to arable crop production and trapping for the live bird trade are big threats. Another increasing threat is growing through unsympathetic tourism, with four-wheeled vehicles being allowed on beaches; this can result in the death of chicks. |
