This species has a large range, with an estimated global Extent of Occurrence of 76,000 km². The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is not believed to approach the thresholds for the population size criterion of the IUCN Red List (i.e. less than 10,000 mature individuals in conjunction with appropriate decline rates and subpopulation qualifiers), even though the species is described as 'uncommon' in at least parts of its range (Stotz et al. 1996). Global population trends have not been quantified, but the species is not believed to approach the thresholds for the population decline criterion of the IUCN Red List (i.e. declining more than 30% in ten years or three generations). For these reasons, the species is evaluated as Least Concern.

Hello Selen,
This one is so cute! I love the glistening feathers and the colours are fabulous. I think the beard looks more like a smart red tie! Great capture!
TFS and regards, Ulla

Hi Selen.
Hes a hard case looking character, looks like he has a mow-hawke hair style. Lovely colours in his feathers, quite iridesent and amazing colour under his beak. The flash has helped bring the colour out, lovely image.

Hello Selen,
Nice shot of the Rainbow-crested Thornbill showing the male sharply in its colourful finery.
The busy leafy Bg is blurred enough to highlight the hummingbird.
TFS and best wishes, Ivan

Merhaba Selen,
It's pretty for sure and the eyes are really something special. It's always great to see it.
I must say that the frontal view of the male thornbill shows the colors better. Technically excellent. Hosçakal,
Hakan

Merhaba Selen, sayende bu değişik kuşu gördük. Çok beğendim eline sağlık
