Cucak Rowo by Jogjainfochannel published on 2020-08-14T04:23:30Z It is one of the birds that is very popular with people as a pet bird, because of its sweet song. In Java, this bird has greatly reduced its population due to busy hunting since the '80s. Most of the birds traded in Java are imported from Sumatra and Kalimantan. Now in many parts of Sumatra Island (for example in Jambi, along Batang Bungo) the population continues to decline. Collar et al. (1994, in MacKinnon et al. 2000) classified the swamp cucak population into a vulnerable status. Likewise, the IUCN states that this bird has a Vulnerable status (VU, Vulnerable). A more detailed description of the conservation status can be found on the IUCN website below. If there was no better rescue step than now, perhaps a few years from now this bird will only be a memory; stay mentioned in songs such as in the song Manuk Cucakrowo in Java (INDONESIA) Genre Ambient
