Range & habitat
This bird's habitat is primary and secondary forest and scrubland up to 1,000 meters above sea level. IUCN has assessed this bird as least-concern species as it has a wide range and is fairly adapatable to degraded habitats. However, the population is still believed to be declining due to deforestation in the Philippines continues throughout the country due to slash and burn farming, mining, illegal logging and habitat conversion.
