Pekin Robins are endangered due to events of avian influenza and import restrictions are controlled. Pekin Robins are no longer available in the pet trade and the birds imported from Asia prior to 1997 are now at the end of the average longevity and breeding potential.
The species is rapidly disappearing from aviaries outside South East Asia. Only concerted effort can keep this delightful species in our private or public aviaries.
