Range & habitat
This species habitat is primary and secondary forest up to 1,220 metres (4,000 ft) above sea level. IUCN has assessed this bird as least-concern species despite deforestation in the Philippines continues throughout the country due to slash and burn farming, mining, illegal logging and habitat conversion. It is found in multiple protected areas such as Bicol Natural Park, Pasonanca Natural Park, Rajah Sikatuna Protected Landscape, Samar Island Natural Park but like all areas in the Philippines, protection is lax and deforestation continues despite this protection on paper.
