Gouldian finch

The Gouldian finch is a medium-sized grass eating bird that lives only in the northern savannas region of Australia. It is a strikingly colourful bird which was once very common. Changed fire regimes are believed to be the main cause of the decline of this beautiful bird. Although Gouldian finches are popular as pets around the world, less than 2500 adult finches remain in the wild. These remaining finches are broken up into isolated flocks of less than 100 birds each.
