The species is abundant and widely distributed; it faces no significant short-term risk.
The grey-winged trumpeter is a species of gruiform bird of the family Psophiidae that lives only in Amazonia, in Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil and north-eastern Peru. The trumpeter gives calls with a deep, loud, resonant sound that carries great distances, which is why it is tamed by indigenous peoples to act as a guard, since it is also credited with the ability to frighten off and hunt snakes.
