Chloebia gouldiae, also known as the Gouldian Finch or the Rainbow Finch, is a small passerine bird found in the savannas and woodlands of northern Australia.
The Gouldian Finch has a distinctive and colorful plumage, with a bright green back, purple chest, and yellow belly. The male and female also have a different colored head, with the male having a bright red head and the female having a purple-black head.
The Gouldian Finch is known for its beautiful and melodious song, which is a series of clear and high-pitched notes. It feeds mainly on grass seeds and insects.
The Gouldian Finch is considered to be a vulnerable species due to habitat loss, and its conservation status is currently listed as “Endangered” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Despite conservation efforts, its population continues to decline, making it a highly sought after bird by aviculturists and bird enthusiasts.
