Population [top]
Population: Rich et al. (2004) have estimated the global population to number c.8,000,000 individuals. The European population is estimated at 7,910,000-14,300,000 pairs, which equates to 15,800,000-28,600,000 mature individuals or c. 24,000,000-43,000,000 individuals (BirdLife International 2015). Europe forms c. 40% of the global range, so a revised estimate of the global population size is c.60,000,000-110,000,000 individuals, although further validation of this estimate is needed.
Trend Justification: The population is suspected to be increasing as ongoing habitat degradation is creating new areas of suitable habitat. In Europe, the population is estimated to have undergone a modest increase between 1980 and 2013 (EBCC 2015).
Current Population Trend: Increasing
Additional data:
? Continuing decline of mature individuals: Unknown
? Extreme fluctuations: No ? Population severely fragmented: No
? Continuing decline in subpopulations: Unknown
? Extreme fluctuations in subpopulations: No ? All individuals in one subpopulation: No
Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology: In its original range it inhabits semi-desert and arid country with scattered trees such as Acacia (Baptista et al. 2015). Elsewhere it is found in towns and cities, parks, orchards and gardens. It mainly feeds on the ground taking seed, cereal grain, fruits of herbs and grasses and some green parts of plants. It will also take some invertebrates. It is generally resident (Baptista et al. 2015).
Systems: Terrestrial
Continuing decline in area, extent and/or quality of habitat: Unknown
Generation Length (years): 5.3
Movement patterns: Not a Migrant
