Hunting for food, trapping for the cage-bird trade and habitat loss were the principal causes of this species' decline. [4] Deforestation has been the result of forestry activities, the expansion of banana cultivation, charcoal production, the loss of nesting-trees felled by trappers seeking young birds for trade, and natural events such as hurricanes and volcanic eruptions.
