| Red Data Status : | Least Concern |
| Remarks : | Free-ranging escaped bird. At least one pair has taken up residence in the car park area at the Singapore Zoological Gardens - and there have also been chicks photographed in 2007 at another location at the zoo. So I guess they have adapted well and are roaming around freely and breeding in that vicinity for the last few years. - ML |
