starts withIt inhabits tropic moist montane forest at 700–2,900 meters above sea level. Has been to known to visit cultivated areas.
IUCN has assessed this bird as near threatened with its population being estimated as 1,500 to 7,000 mature individuals.. Forest loss is a threat but it is not thought to have as significant impact within this species's alititudinal range as compared to lowland forest. Its lowland counterpart the Green racket-tail is considered much more threatened being listed as endangered with many local extinctions. Many parrots in the region are affected by trapping for trade, but its impacts upon this species are not known.
It is recommended to gather data on the impacts of international and national trade. Undergo surveys to have a better population estimate. Calculate rates of forest loss within its altitudinal and geographic range using satellite imagery and remote sensing techniques. Effectively protect habitat at key sites,
