The Gouldian Finch (Erythrura gouldiae) Card

The Gouldian finch is a tiny grass eating bird that lives only in the northern savanna region of Australia. It is a strikingly colourful bird which was once very common. 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, most with less than 100 birds each. The natural environment of this most beautiful, tiny bird is disappearing.
