In the world
It has an extremely large range with an increasing population but is threatened by increased spring temperatures are resulting in a mismatch between food availability and offspring requirements leading to lowered reproductive success in at least some populations. It is widespread throughout Europe, Asia and the Far East and there are many subspecies, some of which lack the yellow colouration on the breast.
Local threats
Trapping for the illegal bird trade
