The Barbados Bullfinch (Loxigilla barbadensis) is a bird species endemic to Barbados. It has a limited range and a declining population. The remaining population of Barbados Bullfinches faces threats such as habitat loss, fragmentation, and competition with introduced bird species. The conversion of their forested habitats into agricultural lands and urbanization has resulted in the loss of suitable habitats. Conservation efforts focus on habitat restoration, protection, and captive breeding programs.
