Gouldian Finch

The Gouldian Finch is a small, brightly colored bird native to Australia, known for its striking appearance with vibrant red, yellow, green, and black feathers. It typically measures around 4 inches in length and prefers open woodlands and grasslands. These finches are highly social, often seen in large flocks, and primarily feed on seeds. Their vivid colors make them popular in the exotic pet trade. Cognizant of their declining wild populations due to habitat loss and capturing, conservation efforts aim to protect their natural habitats and ensure sustainable populations both in the wild and captivity.
